it's things like these why I switched over to studio drivers years ago. studio drivers do not get updated alot and also get all the bug fixes from the game rdy drivers. studio drivers are usually WAY more stable then game ready.

massively happy back in nov' 23 I switched to AMD for my 1st AMD build ever.. was using a 7 yr old intel 5960x 8c/16t HEDT x99 platform.... my amd 7950x3d, nvidia 4080, 64 gigs of dd5 cl30 memory and 2x 4tb Gen 5 nvme's are kick'n ass. was using INTEL exclusively since early 80's (outside my...

screw frame gen... only numbers I want to see between the generations is raw power.. ie turn off frame gen and DLSS.. I want to see RAW fps between the gen's.. I have a 4080.. I want to see raw 5080 and 5090 to compare to my raw 4080 data.

*drools*.. but but.. what is the subpixel layout? is it RGB (good) or BGR (bad)? BGR sucks for text clarity.

fond memories of my C64 back in the early 80's. also had a C128 then an Amiga 500. did TONS of early gaming on the platforms.. was really sad when Commodore went belly up in 1994 :(

have a regular 4080 (bought before super's come out)... not even interested in a 5080.. looks like a weak sidegrade... now if I can get a 5090 for $1599 (4090 msrp), I might be tempted, else ToTaL pass on the 5000 series.. F. NVIDIA!

Apple's behavior hasn't changed in decades, it's why I'd N E V E R consider buying anything made by Apple.. E V E R :)

but he punts all cards when the pcb is cracked or bent (ie bent so much that leads inside the pcb are severed).

even though already built my 7950x3d system a year ago... if the 9950x3d has 3d cache on both ccd's, I'd be tempted to upgrade lol. Else I'd prolly just upgrade from my 4080 to a 5090.

Sooooooo happy I made the decision last november to switch from intel to amd for my 1st new system in 7 yrs (was using an Intel 5960x 8c/16t hedt x99 intel system). my Gaming is SOOOO silky smooth. ----------------------------------- Fractal Design Meshify 2 RGB Black TG AMD 7950x3d CPU...

ie no reason for owners of a 7950x3d to upgrade *sighs*

400 Gbit? ouch.. is that over fibre? seems rj 45 cables would ne to be really really short lol

SOOOO glad when I built my 1st new system in 7 years last november I switched to AMD after 40 years of intel systems.. didn't want a space heater called 14900k in my small computer room.. my new Amd 7950x3d is AMAZBALLS. cpu on a 360mm AIO never goes above 75c. heck my pci 5 ssd even w/thermal...

dude.. mini me? exact same but I was with intel since 8088 in early 80's. was running a 7yr old intel 5960x (hedt) 8c/16t monster system, 32 gig quad channel ddr4-3200, intel 1.2 tb nvme 3 ssd card. last november decided to build a new system. was torn but I didn't want my small computer...

SOOOOO glad last novemeber when I put together my first new system in 7 years ( was using an intel 5960x hedt system) I choose to go with an amd 7950x3d :) I choose amd due to much lower energy usage and alot less heat production. P H E W. (have had ZERO issues with my new system, blazing...
