    btw, hoping theyll also do something for X670 😛 although they may take their time, since i only just ordered an Asus board hahaha

    i wonder if the thick ihs discussion is bad enough, would AMD consider making the package thicker instead for future cpus not to lose compatibility? one could dream haha

    and now ure back to have some more laughs 🙂 good stuff!

    huh havent noticed that, weird. but shouldnt be different due to memory since number of chips is actually the same, just double density on 3080. altho i doubt the 15W difference will make up for the difference in cuda cores? not entirely sure tho since the difference is by no means huge...

    thats just silly of them...

    hm interesting, got it on my watch list but havent started yet. lets see... i do agree tho that star wars has started this kinda "watering down" journey ever since disney secured the rights. seems like too much material in too little time, same for the MCU...

    my bet is that these insane prices will fall pretty quickly once the nvidiots realized theyre not the only gpu game in town anymore @RDNA3 and they finally got a read on the global consumer room not willing to pay such mining pandemic prices that have completely overstayed their welcome! 0mg dude....the only thing more crazy than getting a 4090 on launch (look whos talking amirite 😇) is getting it for a frigging egpu setup and pairing it with an 11th gen mobile cpu 😂 me? excited? dunno what u talkin about... ðŸĪŠ

    i am a bit skeptical when it comes to any kind of image quality enhancing algos, really depends on the general implementation, the game itself and the users susceptibility to minor or major artifacts. best baseline is always to have high raw performance in rasterization and ray tracing, of course!

    agreed, more options is always better. but as far as im aware, implementation of PBO did not take away any manual tuning possibilities. naturally, every arch has its irks and custom stuff that needs to be considered. hm, difficult topic. i 100% get where ure coming from, ive known u long enough in the forums haha. but if were being honest, in the end it all comes down to a pay to win mentality. all the oc skills in the world wont help u if u cant afford to purchase extreme pre-binned hardware of get hundreds off the shelf items to bin urself in the first place. add to that connections to the industry and getting access to hardware early, being able to purchase exotic cooling gear, etc. and yes, i get that its possible to get "creative" like brother @Papusan is currently doing with combining older with current hardware to collect oc points on the bot, but even that takes a lot of disposable income.

    thats exactly what i was hoping for when posting this thread 🙂 i mean, i dunno about u guys but in real life i dont reaaally have any buds being as excited and knowledgeable about pc hardware as most members in this forum. so its just SO much more fun to be able and share this excitement with u NBT bros 😁
  11. jaybee83
    nah no one said PBO is better than manual. at least so far absolutely none of those "automatic" oc algos are better than good ol' manual elbow oc grease 🙂 its about how much of the whole potential oc range u can make accessible to the every day joe user without him/her having to do any manual tuning. and just because the leftover oc headroom gets smaller because of that, us manual tuners cannot get mad at the chips being "worse overclockers". its just that less headroom is left for us to tickle out of it via manual tuning. thus, less additional range to make us stand out from the average crowd. but that shouldnt be the overall goal, cuz that would just be aristocratic elitism and trying to leave out as many users as possible from getting max performance.

    dude this sucks. unfortunately, no company, vendor or reseller is bulletproof and safe from these kind of experiences. i wish this stuff on no one, just total waste of nerves, money and time.
  13. jaybee83
    haha thanks for the kind words mate! ive had plenty of time to plan this build, so basically every single component was researched in depth. next OP update likely on monday, having guests over for the weekend 🙂 next component to arrive is the 7950X, should have been delivered yesterday but theres some kinda delay so now its planned for next tuesday.
  14. jaybee83
    yep your choice really depends on what ure focussing on for an upgrade or new build. if ure already on alder lake then its a no brainer since its a simple drop in. if ure the kinda guy who upgrades his platform every 1-2 years anyways, then it doesnt bother u that socket 1700 is a dead one due to last supported gen. on the other hand, if ure looking for a longterm build for multiple dropin cpu upgrades and dont mind the high initial cost then ryzen 7000 all the way. welp, thats arithmetic mean for ya dude, just flattens out all valleys and peaks 😄 seems like ure rather looking at the mode instead. in the end it just depends on which games ure testing or playing. every game will show u different results.

    yes true, 2.5" speeds are always a bit on the low side. also better check if that model is SMR, dont recall.
  16. jaybee83
    whats ur take on toshiba drives? based on reviews their MG09 line with MAMR tech is supposed to be super fast and comparably quiet. im having my eye on the 18TB model for backup purposes. we actually use that 5TB 2.5" model as an external drive in this household 🙂 i originally used it myself, then gave it to my lady when i moved on to SSD only. purchased it in Aug-2017, so pretty much exactly 5 years ago and still holding up quite nicely to this day.
  17. jaybee83
    duuuude, i only just saw this thread thx to brother @ryan posting, sick machine! especially those Vs in SLI, holy guacamole! u still holding on to all those gpus?
  18. jaybee83
    LOL, um....
  19. jaybee83
    still too early to tell, most people willing to upgrade are likely waiting for RPL, GPUs and B650 for AM5 (which MLID mentions, as well). but in general this is not surprising, after the pandemic craze where EVERYONE and their dog bought hardware nobody is willing to upgrade again already (except the crazy few here at NBT haha). also, regarding that 95C, its just a temp target that u can disable or adjust as you see fit. most reviewers just dont mention that part 😛

    the 3090Ti does roughly 100 fps at 4K: since the 3090 is only a few percent slower id say youd actually be scratching 200 fps at 4K with a 4090 and around 100 fps at 8K 🙂 take this with a grain of salt, of course, since were talking napkin math here 😄
  21. jaybee83
    haha thanks man, appreciate the kind words! if i had the money id get one of these systems each for the top 20 NBT members ðŸĪŠ that would be awesome hahaha! and yes, im noticing that @perfect time to buy. pandemic pricing is JUST over, new gens JUST launched, new DDR5, new AMD platform with longterm support, new CPUs, new GPUs, perfect! as they say in business: you should always behave anti-cyclic, i.e. do what the majority does not do. the majority bought like crazy during the pandemic, and now nobody is buying, so here i am 😁ðŸĪ  btw, update on the mobo: i found a different shop in the meantime that has it IN STOCK / READY TO SHIP ASAP aaaaaaand its even 110₮ cheaper mwahaha! plus they also offer the Asus cashback promotion, so triple win! will update OP to reflect that 😎ðŸĪ˜
  22. jaybee83
    u mean to say "not utterly and completely hate them" im sure 😉 and pah, 3090 KP peasant! if u want dlss 3.0 fork out the cash for a 4090, otherwise ure not worthy in Ngreedia's eyes 😅
  23. jaybee83
    Updated OP with details on the Keyboard 🙂
  24. jaybee83
    hard knocked life my friend! 😂 crocs build log FTW!
  25. jaybee83
    lulz aw man, why does google always have to be so predictable....
