    Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

    We could also look at it the other way around - which is people (including NVIDIA) thought RDNA3 was going to be a beast - so they dialed up the 4090 higher than they probably would have to make sure they came out on top...so I think all the rumors were correct, but no one knew that AMD was...

    Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

    Of course, but my point is this magic 3GHz speed doesn't make it compete with the RTX 4090.

    Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

    I've heard this before, but I question its validity. My Nitro+ hits 3GHz+ stock and I used to run a 4090 on this rig...performance is no where close.

    Hypothetical- 4070 super vs 7900 GRE… similar price… which do you choose?

    Gotta watch! :) That's what I did to find my Nitro+ 7900 XTX. Set up an alert, etc.

    You must not have clicked the link - 7900 XTs selling for around $550

    Just watch - you'd be surprised: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=7900+xt&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15 Watch 7900 XTX too...got my Nitro+ for $821. It's more but there are people dumping their cards (stupidly) for 4080S.

    Hypothetical- 4070 super vs 7900 GRE… similar price… which do you choose?

    I'd take a hard look at used 7900 XT on eBay. The prices were surprising to me. Similar if you have a Micro Center nearby (open box/refurb).

    Hypothetical- 4070 super vs 7900 GRE… similar price… which do you choose?

    4070 SUPER is a beast. I'm a fan of the NVIDIA overall polish for the games that I play. That price is very nice @ $450...good, low cost to keep you satisifed until next gen rolls! OP - be careful with AMD looking better on paper. My 7900 XTX is faster than my NVIDIA cards but the overall feel...

    DEAD - WD Black SN850X 4TB - $237 for Prime Members - delivery 4/3-4/5

    They've had a rough year+ but I would say overall they have been the gold standard. Nothing against WD, of course.

    DEAD - WD Black SN850X 4TB - $237 for Prime Members - delivery 4/3-4/5

    Yes. Some would argue Samsung is the OG and has the best reliability - that is a strong argument. However, WD is no slouch. I have both. The 990 Pro is faster but not my enough to factor it in when price is similar. In fact, I think the 990 was released due to the pressure by the SN850X?

    Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys

    Yes - unless you are using Bitlocker - and remember - both AMD and Intel have had their own issues of this type on x86. ARM obviously is not resilient to it.

    Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys

    The long and short of this vulnerability is it requires sometime to both have access to your hardware and time to exploit it (~30 minutes) - plus whatever time is necessary to exfiltrate data. So - yes...very big risk for those of us with high risk/valuable data. For the normal people out there...

    Actually downgraded him to a 4070 Ti S and he still didn't notice! :) There have been a lot of GPU musical chairs in the house since I sold my 4090s. It's fun.

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

    Just be happy you don't have the 7950X3D's mentally challenged brother - the 7900X3D. If anything is demonstrative of the issues with two CCDs, one with vcache...

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

    Probably because not all setups are the same. Not all games are the same. AMD recommendation mirrors yours: https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/how-to-set-up-your-system-with-a-new-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-or/ba-p/589464 Quite a few people recommend still using Process Lasso, although some say it...

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

    Always on the latest - last page shows my BIOS versions. I just moved to an AMD GPU we will see if that helps. EDIT: seems like a better gaming feel with less stutter with 7950X3D + 7900 XTX (versus RTX 4080 S). Very surprised. I have an Alienware G-SYNC Ultimate UW OLED so I have always been...

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

    I can't manage it, either. I have to monitor it with Park Control and Process Lasso to make sure it is putting the gaming load on the vcache CCD. Stuttering happens. This is why I don't recommend the 7950X3D. Requires additional software/monitoring versus say a 7950X or a 7800X3D. It's pretty...

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

    I still don’t get your point. The 7950X3D requires more software to work optimally than the 7800X3D and 7950X. Do you argue against that? It’s a fact. That fact means there’s more room for issues hence why there can be stuttering when switching between the CCDs (vcache versus no vcache).

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

    Just adding in that I have a 7950X3D rig and 3x 7800X3D rigs - the 7950X3D has stuttering to this day. Same game, same RAM, often the same GPU. The 7950X3D requires more to work optimally than the 7800X3D. The end. (Cue dozens of folks defending their CPU like it’s their child for some odd...

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

    I don’t know why we are still going round and round. Stutter happens with the 7950X3D. https://www.google.com/search?q=7950x3d+stutter+reddit Plenty of cases to review - all due to improper core utilization (CCD with vcache vs CCD with no vcache).

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

    Yes, when the special, additional software that other CPUs do not require is working. BTW - I have stutters in games with my 7950X3D - not with any of my 7800X3D rigs - back on topic of this thread.

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

    I agree. 7800X3D for gaming. 7950X for productivity. 7950X3D if you want to have to monitor to ensure things are operating optimally. Game bar - has to know the game in its database. Clean Windows install - Windows is especially resilient in 2024 there is no need to do clean installs - unless...

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

    - Game bar - Clean install of Windows - AMD drivers I've personally had my 7950X3D not working because of those components not being in harmony. I don't understand why people are white knighting the sub-optimal setup the 7950X3D has. It's good...but all that I am saying is I'd rather have the...

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

    You’re oversimplifying things. Install Windows 11 - most CPUs just work. Use 7950X3D - addl software required. That software must be functioning correctly for optimal performance - requiring monitoring. There’s no FUD - these are facts. 7800X3D doesn’t need it. 7950X doesn’t need it.

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

    So let me get this straight - you want Intel and AMD to start releasing CPU drivers to address things like vcache on only half the cores? You’re so determined to defend the setup of the 7950X3D you won’t admit to the potential performance issues? You’re not comparing apples to apples. CPUs...

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

    You’re agreeing with my thoughts just in a different way. 24 cores, 32 cores, 16 cores, 8 cores - that’s not relevant. I just don’t want half to not have vcache and be dependent on full, optimal performance on AMD drivers, clean OS install, and Xbox Game Bar. That’s it. Full stop. So 7950X or...

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

    It's a problem based on the point that I am trying to make. I have 1x 7950X3D rig, 3x 7800X3D rigs - there is not much point for 16 cores that are gimped with only half with vcache. It's software dependent so inherently, there is a level of reliability that isn't there with other CPUs. If you...

    Thanks for proving my point that it’s software dependent. :)
