I’m thinking of picking up a pre-built PC since this one even with a new SSD is still slow and parts are so hard to find right now or are being price gouged. I can get the same setup prebuilt for almost the same price as building it myself.

I can go with one company that only uses the Nvidia RTX 3080/3090

Or a different one that’s uses the AMD RX 6800 XT/6900

I’ve read both the 3090 and 6900 are more work station cards so I’m not going to spend the extra on those and the 6800 is at most 10% slower then the 6900 and in some tests the 6800 beats it.

I’m leaning towards the 6800, does anyone have real life experience with it instead of just review sites or experience with the 3080?

Thanks.

I'm waiting for game studios to start releasing games that aren't packed full of woke bullshit, or are shitty ports of console games to cash in on another platform, before upgrading. Guess I'll be rocking the rx580 for a while longer.

The good news is by the time that comes out you'll be able to enjoy it on a holodeck.

That’s a great point, I’m just getting bored with a 6yo machine.

I was reading 2022 is going to be a big year, with ddr5, 5nm the amd 5 platform coming out etc.

I can relate. I recently upgraded to a Ryzen, because my old motherboard gave up the ghost. It's a marked improvement over the stuff it replaced, which was around 7 years old, the exception being the video card which is a couple of years old. I just find that when I have time, I'm playing older games because the new stuff doesn't appeal.

Same, I asked about WWII non-sjw infected games here and most were ones I already play and are older. I bought COD but uninstalled it, too much sjw shit in it. So I can play basically everything on high or ultra still.

I really don’t need a new PC but you now you get the itch for one even though I know I don’t need it since I just put in a new ssd which is amazing and supposedly the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022 it will be completely outdated with the new AM5 platform with dd5 and 5nm CPU’s and new graphics cards that will hook into your non-used cpu cores and ram and work in unison for a significant boost.

DDR5 will start at 3200 MHz and scale all the way up to 8400 MHz as time goes on.

Hynix plans for all of its DDR5 memory to run at least at 4800 MHz, and speeds below 4800 MHz will simply serve to conserve power. This means DDR5 memory will have 50% greater bandwidth than DDR4 at launch and only get faster.

I have dual channel 1600, quad channel 8400 will be nuts. it will be theoretically a little more then10 times faster.
