    Question Monitor upgrade options ?

    Hi all, I am looking at getting another monitor. I currently use a 1440p msi optix, which is a VA panel at 32". I am looking at getting a Samsung odyssey neo G7 or G8 which I believe is 4K (is G8 worth the extra cost?) Or getting a 1440p OLED. What would be a better upgrade in this instance...

    Question Good 5000 CPU to pair with a 7900 XTX ?

    Yeah I figured the x3d would excel in this area. Being the case, I'll leave the RAM upgrade until I eventually move on to AM5/AM6. What ever the current platform is when I decided to move on Thanks muchly

    Question Good 5000 CPU to pair with a 7900 XTX ?

    Hard to assess because of my game style. It's hard with things like this for me because no one seems to benchmark the games I play or similar haha

    Question Good 5000 CPU to pair with a 7900 XTX ?

    I struggle to find many b ench marks form my style of games. I play cities skylines, wandering village, farthest frontier, good company, Dota 2, Minecraft, timberborn. Many of my games are simulation and usually I'm modding for fun too. I believe the 5800x3d is going to be my best option in...

    Question Good 5000 CPU to pair with a 7900 XTX ?

    Thank you, the difference in them in that graph is basically nothing it seems, I play a lot of settlement style games and survival games so overall from the looks of it, £200 extra nearly for only 20 frames is probably not worth it. Maybe when the price comes down for the 5800x3d. Yeah, the...

    Looking here, the 57, 58 and 58x3d have a pretty big price difference (I'm based in the UK) https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/cpu-amd-desktop/3198/3197/3196 Would the gains for that additional money be worth it?

    Question Good 5000 CPU to pair with a 7900 XTX ?

    I currently have a Ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro GPU. I am aware that this CPU can be a bottleneck to this GPUs performance and wonder if anyone could suggest a Ryzen upgrade from my current CPU. I don't want to have to change my MOBO so I would assume a 5000 series would be my...
