Do any of yal ever cop CPUs the same year they drop? Or do yal wait til the next models drop and then get them?


Might go all out on my build (last one was built in 2012), do any of yal have the Ryzen 9 3950x?

What's the minimum ram you guys recommend to run Fortnite on a laptop?

 

[Skooby]

Which 570x motherboard were you referring to?

Cyper Monday is coming and I'm getting some of this stuff. I've been putting off the build. It's been a long time since I did one so I'm little nervous about pulling it off:

System Builder

I had 2 gpus in my build; gtx 970 and 1080, and once I removed the 970, my performance skyrocketed.
not even in SLI mode.just single gpu, the performance was crazy.

Finished my build and also bought a new gaming laptop

Laptop:

Asus TUF FX505DT

Build:

Ryzen 3800x, ASRock X570 pro4, Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB DDR4-3866, Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB NITRO+, NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case, MSI Optix MAG341CQ 34 inched oced to 115hz​

I'm definitely copping this some time later and selling the reference card. It runs very hot temps.

You sleeping on getting a monitor w/ HDR, it’s a huge difference breh

Most of the HDR monitors they sell can't display' real HDR.

400 nits ain't bright enough

The monitors that can display true HDR are well over $800.

My homegirl done bought her daughter this for Christmas and I don't see the benefit of using it, especially for gaming or anything else in general. 4gb ram, 64gb memory, windows s mode?

I told her I might be able to upgrade memory to 8gb but that's praying it improves the machine.

I bought a new laptop that came with S mode, but you can deactivate it to get windows home. I'll never forget the face I made when I googled windows s mode.

I'm so tempted to buy this Alienware 34" Ultrawide...but that expected performance hit keeps pulling me back

EDIT: fukk it. Bought it. Monitors outlast GPUs. I'm future proofing. I'll just upgrade next year when nVidia announces those new cards

I don't know how AMD bamboozled everyone into thinking they need a $750 CPU. 9700k is half the price and a better gaming CPU

 

[Skooby]

Officially starting my build...just bought the Ryzen 3600X for $200 on Amazon.

 

[Judo]

what games do yall play? im looking for some people to game with because i miss playing multi player games with cool people and none of my real life friends play (mostly because they got married...#GMB lol)

What all you got? Id be willing to do some multiplayer on pc with you fella

I definitely need more people to play with since I just got this gaming PC.
I have: The Division, The Division 2, Need For Speed Heat, Forza Horizon 4. I still gotta download Destiny 2, Gears 4&5, and State of Decay 2

 

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

@Judo I got division 2 as well but got tired of playing alone lol and I didnt play as much since playing multiplayer's on the pc is kind of new to me

But i will be down to play in the future
