I have 5800X3D because I primarily game on the system, but it’s fast enough to do other compute work. Games will probably work just fine even on these multithreaded monsters when you feel like it after mostly doing work on it. It’s just prioritizing.

Buy high end, but not top end, stick with it for many many years and you’ll actually have good experience the entire time.

Opposed to low end cards that are terrible when you buy them and just gets worse in just a year or two.

Who wants to bet he never actually talked to putin and he just sits in the oval office alone for 1 hour talking to himself thinking what a great deal he made. And none of it actually happened.

Lol, just now? Eurovision has been political charade the entire fucking time. It’s not “best artist wins” it’s friend countries voting for eachother.

If you’re a gamer, then absolutely. If not, benefits will not be as obvious. For games, it’s a massive upgrade.

Yes. OLED has perfect blacks and if you’re a gamer because of pixel response times. OLED has pixel response time of 0.03 ms. Best LCD monitors have pixel response time of 1 ms. OLED image will be sharp through entire motion distance. Most games don’t support HDR but still benefit from above features.

Yet spends hours a day vomiting his verbal diarrhea on his bullshit social netwrok day after day…

Einstein was right, time really is relative, when 24 hours suddenly becomes 4 months and counting.

I mean, who wants to drive a nazi mobil?

I wouldn’t go to USA even if you pay me. To be “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador and then they fucking “don’t know” how to get you out. Fuck no.

I used to say this about 3rd world countries to avoid them, now USA is on that list. Imagine USA being that bad. Well, it is that bad now. When it was under Biden, I wouldn’t even think about it. With this orange baboon, no fucking chance you see me go to USA.

That was mostly when they were rushing to shut down nuclear plants. Getting them operational again will be insane cost opposed to them keep on running like before.

They need to do something because AMD is just murdering them on all fronts.

It has few annoying elements like the stupid Ai tab, but beyond that it’s actually really nice and powerful. I especially like Tuning panel so I don’t need MSI Afterburner anymore as separate app to overclock it. It’s just so much more responsive panel and has bunch of settings that are very useful, like Radeon Chill if I want to keep power consumption down without really compromising framerate or the AFMF is insane feature. Works in every game, makes motion so much smoother while I can’t really notice any input lag unlike with FSR3 FrameGen that always creates massive input lag that totally ruins the whole “higher fps number” thing. And I really like the in-game overlay that allows me to see entire Radeon panel within the game if needed.

I’ve been last on Radeon back when HD7950 was relevant and have dealt with stupid ancient NVIDIA Control Panel ever since. NVIDIA App most certainly didn’t impress me because it’s dumbed down and stupid, but at least applying settings in it doesn’t take 5 seconds anymore which is a plus I guess.

In a local retail computer store. I see there is plenty of them in online stores here in Europe (using Geizhals as reference) and the price has dropped a bit. I did overpay for it a bit, but eh fuck it, I can live with that as I got it basically 2 days after the launch. I couldn’t justify 1600€ for RTX 5070Ti which is why I never went for it. If RTX 5080 was 1000€ I’d still go for it. For the price NVIDIA is asking now and back then, no fucking chance.

I went from RTX 3080 to RX 9070 XT and it’s a huge upgrade. I didn’t quite expect it to be this large. I know it’s not beating RTX 5080 in all of them there are some and some where it’s very close. Which is crazy considering the 600-800€ gap that it had back then. It has now fallen to “just” 400€ gap, but I can’t justify a whole low-mid end graphic card value for few more frames. It’s insane.

I hope this is just fake news, because Intel has the foundation, their Battlemage is pretty damn good. They just need to scale it up a bit more. I don’t care if it’s flagship levels or not, if they can squeeze out RTX 5070Ti or RX 9070 XT performance out of ARC card and it would be awesome.

I bought the RX 9070 XT and it’s freaking amazing. Like, who gives a shit if NVIDIA holds the performance crown when their cards are entirely unobtainable and so expensive they are out of reach of most people? Fuck that metric. On top of that they have missing ROPs, melting power connector because they run so close to its power limit and they keep denying that shit for second generation now.

And don’t be mistaken, RX 9070 XT is a VERY high performing card, often beating RTX 5080. They also improved FSR4 to levels that mostly beat DLSS3 CNN in terms of quality which is huge. They improved ray tracing basically on par with NVIDIA and AFMF or AMD Fluid Motion Frames is AMAZING framegen tech. I love it so much and it just works in all games and it works really well. RDNA4 was a huge leap for AMD.

Not to mention Radeon software is SIGNIFICANTLY better than NVIDIAs stupid control panel from year 2006 and same goes for new NVIDIA App. It’s just such a stupid piece of software with missing settings available in old panel and also with dumbest overclocking panel I’ve ever seen.

I have ports forwarded locally to deal with my router, that doesn’t apply to my ISP down the line. And that’s the problem. I don’t know the specifics, but that’s how it was explained to me.

It’s not. Bittorrent uses newer methods to connect that work with current network configurations where eMule devs stubbornly refused because it would create some overhead like we’re still stuck on 56k or ISDN era and never improved it.

Apparently there is a way using VPN with P2P, but I’m not gonna pay for it just to run eMule…

I know, but I still miss my donkey. It was slow but stubborn and always delivered eventually. Also it was mesmerizing watching all the clients and traffic happening and watching KAD nodes visualization. Good times. It’s still there but because it now always connects with LowID it doesn’t work as good as it did with HighID…
