Disclaimer: I take the personal views of user benchmarks with a...heavy...whole bottle of salt.
So my wife wanted NVIDIAs broadcast software because she teaches online a lot. So I got her a "cheap RTX3060" I had a complete i7 3770k system left over from my son and a AMD 3400g CPU. The 3770k system is kind of on its last legs. It no longer retains BIOS settings. (Battery swap would likely fix it) Three of the five fan headers are toast.
I was wondering if it was worth it to get a $70 B450 board and some cheap ram and just use the 3400g as it's more modern.
I went to user benchmarks for raw performance numbers. Somehow the 9 year old 3770k is a better recommended buy new over the 3400g even though it's about 5%-20% faster in all benchmarks.
Boy that's rich
