    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Good to know AMD brought back their IGP on non APU desktop CPUs. Does AMD have an equivalent to quick sync or NVENC?

    High hot spot temps on 4090 ROG Strix

    It looks damn near 1:1 to me. 3 unobstructed intake fans vs 1 unobstructed exhaust + 3 going through a radiator and the PSU fan. I’ll bet total cfm in is very close to cfm out. Also, not all cases are designed the same. Some work better with a vacuum some with positive displacement.

    Not sure I get the joke

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    On one hand my 5900x still does everything I need it to do. On the other, I still want a new system. Had a 3900x before, this next round I’m moving away from 6+6 CCD topology to 8+8. With many games utilizing up to 8 cores, I want to minimize CCD to CCD latency. I was hoping this gen would see...

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    Not to anything that will make an appreciable or even noticeable difference. You need an all new build to take advantage of the monitor and whatever card you decide to go with.

    What is up with PSUs manufacturers now? 100 models with almost zero differences

    Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Titanium are simply efficiency classes Vertex/Focus are different tiers. Focus IIRC being the entry level one for Seasonic

    Gamers report memory RGB lights are damaging GPU backplates

    Those back plates aren’t plastic

    The GPU Nvidia would rather forget – GeForce FX

    One small exception… x1900/1950xtx cards did achieve that level of success. They didn’t top the charts for as long but they did top the charts.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I'm speculating, but I doubt US government issued 50B in subsidies to bring them over for anything short of their state of the art processes. We already have several sources outside Taiwan in general and TSMC in particular for "lesser" process nodes. Intel, Global Foundries and Samsung all have...

    7800x3d Windows Game Bar

    It's only really needed for the dual CCD processors like the 7900x3d and 7950x3d. Some say it also helps with the non x3d versions of those same CPU's. Not necessary on a single CCD cpu like the 7800x3d

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Main reason we need that TSMC Arizona fab spun up asap. I mean, not just for 5090's but everything else based on TSMC's processes.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    "just" 80% faster at gaming?

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    3080 for $699 was unobtainium for 2 years. If you wanted one you either got lucky and sniped one before it went OOS or, more commonly, you paid a scalper more than 699. This wasn’t lost on nvidia. Why leave profit on the table when you can cut out the scalper and pocket additional money. I see...
