Still fails to beat 9800X3D at gaming 😱

Still fails to beat 9800X3D at gaming 😱

It is meant to be good at everything, not a niche CPU. If people use their PCs as consoles, I completely understand. It doesn't make that scenario the end all be all for everyone though.

It's bad enough how many people I see with 9800x3ds and a GPU a half decade old trying to get 60fps at 4k. They not only got slow gaming performance due to the x3D theatrics (their fault), but they also have slower installs, a slower system over all, and still managed to pay like $500 for a 8 core CPU that doesn't have the right GPU to back it up to even hit anywhere close to CPU max.

Obviously for high resolution gaming, the GPU is much more important, but the waters have been so muddied with great marketing and dumb people influence who think 96-128 mega bytes of cache is more important than a CPU/GPU itself as a whole, due to 1080p benchmarks with the highest end GPU to avoid bottlenecks that no one even possesses. Many even upgraded from a 7800x3d, talk about price 2 performance ratios there.

The x3D has failed many, and they have no clue due to this X3D is most important for gaming more than a GPU itself rhetoric, while not everyone games the same way (high refresh vs high graphics).

I hope he had the latest bios... 🥓

Is anyone really using liquid Helium? It does makes sense, since liquid He boiling point is just 4.2K (-452F/-269C) vs 77K (-320F/-196C) of liquid Nitrogen, which if you really want to win is all that matters (it's very expensive though). Also everyone talking in high pitched voices as you dominate while boiling off Helium is a bonus.

Cudos for the record. This was fun even on the start of PC era. We overclocked our amateur first version of IBM PC on Intel 8088/8086 built and soldered on the knees, from 4.77MHz to 9.4-9.8 MHz (1000x progress in 40 years!) using dry ice. And even on air it worked pretty stable.

But the most fun was that this also automatically overclocked PCs floppy disk drive which started to rotate like on steroids and produce crazy sound that everyone in the room laughed. Still it was reading all the files OK 😀😀

Then we overclocked floating point coprocessors and every PC after that and the only when i was stopped was with latest Genoa CPUs. This hobby became too damn expensive if you fail

Waste of time except for bragging rights, now if ..

1. Fastest all core speed clock.
2. Standard consumer motherboard, PSU, memory, cooling, GPU, as in average price, off the shelf, released firmware.
3. Stable and usable 24/7.

Then a manufacturer and their overclockers can crow.

It's like saying the Chiron is the fastest car at 480 km/h.
It's true, but on a closed track, slurping gasoline with its ridiculously powerful engine (1.580 hp), chewing away tires and costing a fortune ($3 million).
Indeed very very practical for us mortals wanting to get from A to B and feel more like a dick measuring contest for the elite.
