I've been reading about the new X299 chipset and shyt, I'm kinda pissed that Intel only supported the X99 chip for 3 years (2 generations of their chips).

I'm real interest in the X299 chips though. We'll have to see if if's worth it to upgrade. :yeshrug:
Even a slight passmark bump bothers you.

And I know this :takedat:

Yeah, I'm quad channel
That is the only advantage X99 appears to have at this time. We will see when the benchmarks hit. My guess is that the 6900K will still outbench the top end Ryzen chip.

The price is what will be interesting.

So apparently the R5 1600X is benching the 6800K.

I am not saying shyt until they are out.

Ma fellow PC brehs, I have seen the light, Been dodging spending decent money on a chair, Worst mistake ever about a week ago some cheap chair i had from wal mart broke while i was tryna do some video editing. Chair was trash but it lasted a year back support was as a chair you thought was pose to feel and and after about a year I felt like I was siting on wood. So I started looking up the gaming chairs Dx racer, GT Omega ect. Ran Across the a review of a new brand called Ewin and they had some great discounts and showed how they made the chairs ect after going back and fourth with prices I wound up spending about 240$ and surprising shipping was great got the chair in four days. When it came it took about 20min to set up, first time I sat on it I honestly hit the :banderas: I didn't know this is what a decent chair felt like. Ewin also promised me if the chair ever started to go flat they would replace it as what they use inside the chair doesn't allow it to go down. Back support is great and having a chair that can recline is amazing. If you brehs are looking to ever get a good chair without going the super high end office chair route try out Ewin can't lie if your going from a average chair this is damn near life and health changing to sit properly for long periods of time.

Gaming chairs are legit. I can't believe I didn't get one earlier. The fit is so good :wow:

Yeah, I did it all. The last time I played it was when the nuka-cola dlc cake out.

I think it took me like 75-80 hours to do everything (including
the 3 different faction
) and the DLC (which I beat all of)

The only reason I am optimistic about Ryzen is because AMD must have been holding this as their ticket to be relevant on the CPU side again. They did a pretty good job in terms of what the target was with the RX 480. Hoping for a repeat on the CPU side.

I just cant trust them at this point. I mean theyve released 8 core cpus that couldnt even come close to a mid level intel. Until i see the numbers, AMD is still some fukk boys :manny:

Those FX CPU weren't true 8 core processors, 6 or 4 cores

The were dual module processors. 4 cores, 8 threads, 3 cores 6 threads, 2 cores 4 threads

These cores of the Zen processors are actually what they are, 8/16, 6/12, 4/8 and 4/4
