It was a Soya. I paid in AUD but it looks like 130 USD delivered. As long as you realise the die is used, I think it is a pretty decent deal. The cooler felt very cheap but it works fine. When you consider that the new alternative would be a rx 6500xt running on pcie 3, it seems like it was...
I bought a 'new' Ali Express 5700xt a few months ago. For the price I am super happy compared to anything that is being sold new at the moment. Plugged into a 1080p tv with the kids PC, it has run anything we have tried. No dramas with drivers or below expected fps. Not bad for a 6 year old card.
I need to plugin the old hardrive to access my saved FPS numbers but going from a 5800x3d with 16gb ram to a 9800x3d with 64gb DDR4 ram has been huge. Not a small 10fps increase but a game is suddenly playable to the end change.
I would love to see more non FPS testing. Gamers Nexus shows the 9800x3d as being 37 percent faster than the 5800x3d in simulation time. The upgrade would literally turn games from unplayable to playable so is worth the upgrade for me. In turned based games FPS is pretty pointless as well. The...
I will be buying a 9800x3d tomorrow. The only thing I need to decide is if I buy a mobo/ram/hard drive as well or wait a few weeks until black friday.....I wonder if the x670 mobo's will get a discount
10 percent (mostly due to higher freq I guess ) is much higher than a lot of people were expecting a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see the gain from my 5800x3d but I think I am sold.
I have been following the Stormgate drama for the past few months. It's very much an incomplete game in early Alpha with half finished features being added as soon as possible. I wouldn't 100 percent blame the cpu if it's the only game you are crashing with.
That's because Intel pays mobo makers to restrict certain colours to Intel boards......hopefully this marketing expense gets the chop after they finish reducing the fruit.
Basically every game I play is either turn based strategy or pausable real time strategy. I have no real issues turning the graphics down but eventually these type of games slow down to a slog and basically force you to start a new game due to the cpu and ram requirements. The improvement I saw...
