Something about the "10" series doesn't sit right with me. It's no major improvement over 9th gen. I guess I could wait for Rocket Lake or whatever it is that is next. But Intel usually rests on it's laurels every few gens and lets AMD take the lead for a gen or two. Got to keep your monopoly...
Oldest card I have would be a GTX460. Currently using a GTX1060 and wanted to go GTX3060Ti but Jeebus at 700+ retail? No thank you. I'll wait until sanity returns to the world and the GPU market.
I've been looking and looking. It seems Ryzen 5 4xxxU Mobile CPUs outperform Intel at almost every turn but I cannot find a 17" laptop that contains one. I was looking for a 4500U - 4700U but biggest I can find is 15.6". Does this platform not support 17" chassis/screen? A little frustrating. If...
If that is the case, the only explanation is that at some point, power delivery hardware is likey failing. You swapped the PSU so that isn't likely to be the problem. Does the 3900x have onboard video/GPU? If so, try and use that. If not, then try swapping another vid card in there. If that does...
What's up Aigo! Yeah I know. It seems I don't have the compulsive gaming need I used to have. Blame it on age, or new interests overtaking an older one. I do game but the games I revert to are older CoD2 and some newer space simulations. The space sims are relaxing. LOL. Sounds like you have...
Oh man. I hardly game anymore and am focused on music DAWs and Video creation. I'm thinking then I'll likely go with Matisse refresh or Zen3. Thanks for the info.
Is it worth actually buying a Comet Lake CPU right now? Isn't this supposedly the last 14nm milk for Intel? 10nm or 7nm (whatever they call it internally) is around the corner or is it a long way off? I keep visiting microcenter and newegg sites often lately which tells me I have the upgrade...
Sounds like bad cells in the battery. Happened to me once or twice with a couple of Dell laptops a while ago. No warning, just dies with 20-30% battery left.
Hey Mark. Good seeing you as well. Thanks for the info. I'll likely wait til July and see what shakes out then.
And thanks Fanatical Meat for the info. It's funny you mention the FX days. That was primarily the reason I asked about AMD reliability/compatibility. Good to hear all seems to be...
Heh, an 8000+ price tag is almost 10 times what I pay on average on a platform upgrade. Anywho, Linus just did a 64 core 3990 review and stated unless you specifically have software that can take advantage of so many cores, it's a waste of money. I personally don't. I do find my 7600K 4 cores...
