    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Gotcha. I guess I'll wait for the 9850X3D, or whatever it ends up being called, if I can squeeze one more year from my current rig.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Why can't they split it across both CCDs?

    Zotac gaming geforce rtx 4090 trinity [open box] $1312.19

    I RMA'd an RTX 3090 with Zotac a few years ago. Process was painless. Their GPUs don't seem to be among the higher tier, however. If you can get it for $1,312.00 it's probably worth the gamble though.

    how to minimize eBay ship costs?

    I prefer to just sell computer gear locally via Craigslist. I get money right away, and never have to interact with the person ever again. I only sell items in excellent condition, so I'm never worried about being contacted again by the buyer. Way less hassle, and I can make the same amount of...

    Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme + Arctic Liquid Freezer III - compatible?

    I'm betting that Arctic is going to release a version 2 of the Freezer 3 at some point. Not that it really helps you much now, but it sounds like some optimizations can be made to improve mounting as well as compatibility across a few mobos.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    I'm also still on a 10900K and have been wanting to upgrade. I'm holding out for the 9800X3D or 9950X3D, if AMD puts 3DVache on both CCDs. My 10900K is finally starting to FEEL slow in everyday tasks, and I'll be turning into a dedicated Twitch streaming PC.

    [DEAD]Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    This man gets it. The 7900X3D has all of the drawbacks of the 7950X3D, but can't even beat the 7800X3D in gaming. It needs to be priced around $300 for it to be a tempting option.

    [DEAD]Very [HOT] 7900X3D $330 @ Antonline

    I hope for the 9xxx series AMD puts 3DV-Cache on both of the CCDs, so we don't end up with these weird 7900X3D chips that no one wants.

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Where are these numbers even coming from? They seem largely made-up. I could have made those charts. :rolleyes:

    Intel Core i9-14900KS

    Would the power savings even come close to the extra $160.00 in cost between the two? Just undervolt the 14900K for similar performance and save money at the same time.

    Grabbing a AMD Ryzen 5 7600x for cheap.

    Yeah, there seems to be a lot of cash wasted on that build that's not adding to performance or features. $190.00 for a B650 motherboard is crazy. If you want to spend that kind of money you're better off getting an X670 for $209.99, or save money and get a cheaper B650 board for around...

    [DEAD] 7900X3D $391.49 @ Amazon

    Even at equal prices, the 7800X3D is the more attractive option to me.

    [Dead]MicroCenter: $300 7800X3D. $289 7900x. Pricematch with Best Buy.

    Indeed. I need a monitor upgrade first. I'm still on a 4K/60hz screen. I only got the 4090 on an impulse when my old 3090 was having issues.

    It's taking all of my willpower not to upgrade from my 10900K right now, but I want to hold out for the 8xxx series. :hungry:

    Warm? PNY RTX 4090 = $1,599.99 @ Best Buy

    PNY seems to have higher brand reputation than Zotac. My previous card was a Zotac 3090 and it ran stupidly hot. Fortunately, their RMA service is very good, but I would go with almost any other brand if paying big money on a GPU.

    Warm? PNY RTX 4090 = $1,599.99 @ Best Buy

    I figure finding any RTX 4090 these days at the original MSRP is a pretty good deal. Best Buy has the PNY RTX 4090 currently in stock at $1,599.99. Not sure if there will be any good deals on Black Friday, but for now MSRP is MSRP. :cool:

    [DEAD]MSI 4070 Ti Gaming X Slim $701.49. Beach Audio via Walmart

    If this is for a 4070 why do they still have the incorrect 4070Ti information and screen images still up? Seems like an intentional bait-and-switch. :bored:

    HOT: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D = $359.99 @ Newegg

    This has to be one of the best deal going for a top of the line CPU. Newegg has the Ryzen 7 7800X3D discounted for $369.99 - $10.00 instant rebate (UBTSCVA66) = $359.99! That's even $60.00 cheaper than Microcenter. :cool:

    RTX 4090 FEW like new

    4090 is pure win for that money. If anyone has been considering making the jump I highly encourage it. You won't be disappointed.

    (DEAD) MSI RTX 4070 Ventus $559 after promo + Free Shipping

    The MSI card is probably discounted due to lack of MOSFET cooling. :cautious:

    AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, ASUS B650E-F ROG Strix Gaming WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Combo $549.99

    The AMD bundle is the better value since you won't have to buy a new motherboard for the next few years. Intel LGA 1700 doesn't have much of an upgrade path.

    Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

    Reports are the MSRP may be $799 for the 4070 Ti. Still too expensive, but at least that will put downwards pressure on all the other 4xxx series cards below it.

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    If they're giving you an actual code after waiting in line, they should give you at least 3 minutes to make the purchase before removing it from your cart. That sucks.

    Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

    If the $899.99 MSRP is true, then used 3090's are going to be cheaper with 2x the VRAM and 2x the memory bandwidth (for games that like memory bandwidth). I don't know why anyone would buy a 4070 Ti unless the MSRP is closer to $599.99.
