Is it worth upgrading my ryzen 3600 if I just browse tiktok in microsoft edge and play terrarium?

What are the chances of muh dlss cope when some nvidia card will have to use dlss to match the performance of a cheaper radeon at native?

reminder that SFF = reddit

no it's still a decent cpu especially for what you do
if anything wait 2-3 years for ddr5 to become the norm

Hello, shithead. Still can't correctly compare graphics cards, can you?

They'll never be finished because AMD drivers are so fucking garbage that the GPU only works with whatever they choose as important which is like 3 things max.

AMD to this day and since the beginning has always sucked absolute dick for emulation for instance.

why are you posting benchmarks from 2020 when drivers and game updates now in 2022 have put radeon ahead

I assume that's 10gb version

Oh wow haha, the CPU is bottlenecking!
Must be due to a GPU power cable issue right?!

user did you plug in the power cord in your new monitor?

Isn't direct storage basically cope for windows shitty old file system

The 3080 12GB was only recently released. Your stupidity knows no bounds

aftermarket cards add hundred or two moneypaper so that's basically msrp

yeah it's the 10gb

I'm a noob. It's my first time building a PC. I put everything in place but it won't turn on. I checked everything 10 times. Is there like a simple and obvious step I'm missing, like some switch I need to flick in order for everything to work? How do I even begin fixing this?

I hope next-gen GPUs higher power requirements will usher the return of universal AIO mounting kits

May want to see whether power switch from case is put into the right pins of the front panel connectors on motherboard
