>Best Gaming: R7 5800X3D
is this really true? last thread made me not so sure

are those fans supposed to look like swastikas?

It's the "best" if you completely ignore price/performance, have a boner for team red, disregard games where it underperforms via posting averages and only ever do gaming.

>performance doesn't matter

OP spams a biased /pcbg/ before bump limit because he need to push his agenda. For instance,

>Gaming: R5 5600/X, i5 12400/F+cooler
>Take into account transient spikes when sizing your PSU to your GPU, especially with Nvidia

is part of his fiction that pretends all Intel and Nvidia components have worse efficiency than AMD components, which is false. As an example, the 3060 Ti is more efficient than the 6700 XT. If we consider the line about the cooler, it's a jewish attempt to make LGA1700 seem more expensive than AM4. If the RM1 (Intel's stock cooler) can get almost full multicore performance from a power unlocked 125W+ i7 12700, it obviously has no problem with the 65W 12400, especially in gaming workloads, as proven below.

>Reading comprehension doesn't matter
The absolute state

Oh it does matter, but not when the price is so ridiculous high for such a small gain and by getting a worse CPU in everything but gaming.

>blender
Cool, now let's see other rendering benchmarks

So would a Ryzen 7 5800X be better price wise and slightly less performance wise?

>a worse CPU in everything but gaming.
so it's worse than 5900x?

>FPS doesn't matter
Sad, many such cases

yes

Need you ask?

Depends on the game. The 5800X3D is a gaming only CPU. If all you play is Factorio, the 5800X3D is better, but if you play Warzone, or most other shooters that aren't already getting 300+FPS (e.g. Valorant), generally an OC'd 12600K will be better for cheaper. For reasonably paired GPU + resolution single player gaming, a $400+ CPU is a waste of money, and it will often perform no better than an i5 in games like Warzone or Spiderman that actually need other CPU resources besides cache.

Obviously. It performs under a 5800X for multicore tasks like rendering

The 5800X3D is too expensive for what it is, outside of niche games. Of course OP would like to ignore this fact because he's a red team fanboy

>Need you ask?
yes, I'm rarted

Forgot image. Keep in mind this is 1080p, and you've pretty much got to be a retard to pair a high end graphics card with 1080p

Damn, didn't realize the other thread was at bump limit. Going to repost-
I've been searching around and I can not for the life of me get a good answer on Google.
Im looking for a 1080p higher refresh rate monitor. But my big issue is I want really good colors and contrast, I hate the gray and washed out black on my monitor. I think I've been spoiled since my phone is Oled and my secondary monitor is a graphics tablet. I don't want to make the jump to 1440p because I'm using a 1650super and it also wouldnt match my graphics tablet resolution. What would you suggest I look into purchasing. Thanks for the assistance

Reposting from previous thread:
Thanks for all the opinions guys.
There was a lot to dig through and I mixed and matched some of the advice from various posters.

>GPU
Upgraded as suggested.
>CPU
Ditched the OC variant since I don't need it.
The F version should be fine, right? Given that I do have a dedicated GPU.
>Cooler
Picked something less expensive since I don't OC and the stock cooler is probably insufficient for more performance intensive games.
If it's still overkill, I can downgrade to the regular Dark Rock.
>Motherboard
I think I'm gonna stick with my option since I'm a pussy (people complaining about not ideal results online). But it's not a huge difference in price and might be good for future upgrades.
>HDD
Opted for something bigger for ease of use.
Also CMR, since it actually HAS been bottlenecking me in some tasks.
>SSD
I don't see how it's overkill.
1 TB is easily filled by the games + mods I have installed.
>Power Supply
Upgraded like people have pointed out.

Any more opinions?
Otherwise I think I'll just start ordering the parts.

>cod warzone point and click zoomer adventure
>game that needs a good cpu

meanwhile said "good cpu" fails at running a racing simulator, a game that ACTUALLY requires a good CPU

Gaming wise 5800X3D can't be beaten, but 5900X is better for productivity.

F variant is fine, if you can afford the non-F non-K, it's just nice to have in case of troubleshooting and whatnot.
A z690 is unnecessary but if you have to have it, then whatever.

>fails
Is this what we've come to for a 3% variance now?

amazon.com/Portable-External-Compatible-Desktop-Windows/dp/B0B56PD46X/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=4tb+ssd&qid=1660606543&sprefix=4tb,aps,194&sr=8-14&th=1

would this be any good?

It doesn't fail, shithead. In fact either CPU can run Assetto Corsa Competizione well, with an 8% difference in minimums at 1080p, at which I might add no self respecting sim racer runs the game.

Additionally, I didn't say that the i9 is a good CPU. I said that Warzone needs a good CPU.

>beaten
Hey horserace user, looks like the 5800X3D "loses" in Warzone. You can have your "wins" in Factorio with your $450 CPU

Cherrypicking is a logical fallacy, intelsister.

Ever gotten scammed before?

>intelsister
I have a Ryzen CPU, an R5 5600X, shithead. Continue to shill your $450 gaming CPU

Good thinking user, thanks.
I'll get the regular version.

Good thing you learned cherrypicking is a logical fallacy at least. ;)
And I have Intel CPU, not sure what's the relevance here.

nope :)

There's always a first time then :)
