Current GPU prices are going to dissuade a lot of people from building new PCs, at least that’s what I’m seeing in my surroundings…
I am really glad that by AM4 5800X + Nvidia 3080 system still performs very well. I wish I had a 5800X3D, but you can’t buy them anymore.
The AI bubble will have to burst in a big way before we can get GPUs for decent prices.
Yeah you don’t need a top of the line pc anymore. If people want to build a new pc either go a few generations old for your components or go second hand for some parts.
Is the 5700X3D not an opinion for you?
I play a lot of strategy games where single thread performance is key (many of the games I play go down to 10-20 FPS in the late game).
Honestly, would need do some more in-depth research around 5700X3D vs. 5800X, the problem is there aren’t too many benchmark for strategy games.
I would say it’s about 6-10% slower than the 5800X3D. Everything else is identical except the clock speeds
I hate scalpers
Finding one … in stock … is a near impossibility
Lots of cards are available. They just aren’t at MSRP
Make a decent product and people will buy it. What a complete surprise.
the 7900xt/xtx were/are also decent products, tbf, but $1k for a single component was, and still is, a STEEP ask - outside the budget of most. the only difference is we’re used to getting fucked over on gpu pricing so $600 for a mid-tier card now seems reasonable by comparison.
