CPU bottlenecks start happening long before task manager reads 100% CPU usage. Any time a pipeline flush happens and your CPU is sitting there waiting for data to make its way through you’re going to feel it.
Also if you’re spending 5000 why wouldn’t you get the best?

The 7900x3d isn’t that great of a gaming CPU, you’d be better off with the single CCD 7800x3d.
But if you’re going for high end why wouldn’t you go for the 9800x3d/9950x3d? The only reason I picked the 7000 series was the lack of availability with the 9000 series x3d at the moment. And if you’re getting 90000 series x870e offers a lot of features as standard over x670e.

Unless you’re getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.
On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I’d assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you’re like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

Used graphics card prices aren’t that much better than new.
The 4090 still has a VRAM advantage over the 5080 so it’s probably going to continue to hold it’s value pretty well. Especially since there’s a massive voice in pricing between the $1k 5080 and the $2k 5090.
Unless the 24gb ARC GPU comes out (or AI crashes) I see the 4090 just not depreciating a substantial amount. And that’s the only option that would compare to the 5080 since AMD isn’t even trying to make high end.

Motherboards aren’t cheap, nor is the top of the line CPUs. The 7950x3D is still $600 on amazon. X670e boards start at like $200 and go up over $500 easily. If you just say fuck it and buy the best you can easily hit that number, especially if you throw in some high end storage drives.
I’m looking to replace my CPU, mobo and ram and I’m looking at at least $1200 for that.

My desktop is literally only used for gaming (I have a separate PC for everything else) and I spent probably 3-4k on it.
Buy a lot of high end NVMe storage and I could easily see it costing 5k.
- Comment on How to take CPU out? 1 week ago:
Once the retaining bar thing is out of the way you should have basically full access to the CPU. The PCB probably isn’t grabable but you should be able to grab the CPU by the heat spreader and pull it out.
If it’s covered in thermal paste then redo the retainer and lock it in place, then scrub the CPU clean, then try taking it out again.

So what happens when you’re only attracted to those out of their league that will never ever like them back?
Work out, get in shape, learn how to dress well, find a nice hairdo. That will do a lot for a person.
But sometimes you find a person that their person whose personality is so amazing it outweighs your initial impression of their looks.

It takes some time to get used to. You need just the right mouse acceleration for it to work well.
The acceleration is whack out of the box with any Linux distro I’ve used so if you’re trying to get used to it there then good luck.

The wealth transfer as the boomer generation dies off is going to be massive.
The problem is two fold. The boomer generation is spending more of their money and leaving less for inheretence.
There was a great article I saw the other day but I can’t find it now.

It sucks that the ones who give attention to the manager are the ones in good graces with her and that the quiet one who works when they go smoking and gossiping gets ignored, unrecognized and treated worse because he doesn’t want to play office politics.
How do they know what you’re up to if you don’t talk to them about it?

- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 3 weeks ago:
High end graphics cards have become so expensive that people can’t afford gaming with good graphics
Not only that, but mid range cards just haven’t really moved that much in terms of performance. The ultra high end used to be a terrible value only for people who want the best and didn’t care about money. Now it almost makes sense from a performance per dollar standpoint to go ultra high end. At launch the 4090 was almost twice the performance of the 4080, but only cost about 1.5x. And somehow the value gets worse the lower end you go.
Meanwhile mid-high end cards like the 4060 and 7600 (which used to be some of the best values) are barely outperforming their predecessors.

Just like gsync died
(true) gsync isn’t dead, it’s only in the highest end of monitors which is basically where it’s always been. It only “died” because it requires an expensive module vs adaptive sync being built into basically every modern display controller so it’s basically free.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 4 weeks ago:
I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.
Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).
In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.

Why would MS care if you already have a PC? The console sale itself doesn’t really make them money, it’s the games. And if you’re still buying their games on PC they still get their (albeit lower) cut.

Like, we can obviously still follow news and whatnot
I stopped following the news first, then largely lost interest in new games after that. After TotalBiscuit passed I haven’t seen a single thing about video game news or reviews. If there’s something I’m interested in I might skim through a review, but that’s the most I do.

…I completely forgot that was even a thing. It came out and nobody really cared. Only the 770/750 got love, and the a380 saw some appreciation for being the quicksync addon card.
Well regardless it’s the same MSRP as the A770 post price drop, and still outperforms it.

Most of the demand is for Windows. So if your choice is to spend resources (money) where demand is, or hope that you can possibly create demand where there isn’t any currently.
