Not upgradin until 108003XD
Not upgradin until UDNA
Not upgrading until it's in a fuckable anime waifu android.
>>729083041Not upgrading til next year.
lemme know when shit's actually affordable. A midrange rig shouldn't cost more than $1000, and enthusiast shouldn't cost more than $2000.

>>729083041I upgraded from 5600X3D to 7950X3D just because I was fucking annoyed by shader compilation, and wanted maximum cores to power through it.Totally worth it.
>>729083258Problem is that midrange gpus in the $300 range are fucking dogshit now and the gap between a xx60 series to the high end xx90 is so high that devs start targeting xx70ti/80 cards for recommended specs.
>>729083258am4 with 5700x and Intel b350 or what their gpus called
>>729083258midrange under 1000 is no problem
>>729083359>shader compilationi've still never played a game that required doing that. is it mostly UE5 stuff that requires it?
>>729083412Budget $300 cards are the best they've ever been.
>>7290830417800/9800x3d should last at least 10 years.
post >yfw a second hand 5800X3D is now more expensive than a new 9800X3D
>>7290837975800X3D has been discontinued long time ago, try to get 2nd hand 5700X3D, it's the same thing, but with slower clock and marginally worse performance.
>>729083412The 5060 and 5060ti are great GPUs.
>>729083686Nah it's not dependant on engine. Most new games do that. Takes I don't know 5+-2 minutes. If you update gpu drivers or something that changes your configuration enough then you have to do it again, but otherwise it's just one and done deal. No need to do it again.
>>729083041>XDkys
I thought about upgrading to 9800X3D, but then the asrock shittery happenedso yeah I'm stuck with 7800X3D
>>729084856Fuck that i aint upgradin 7800X3D is still solid.
7700 myself
>>729083193>cl36
>>729084856why would you have even considered upgrading from a 7800x3d?
>>729085951CL36 has more consistent framerates with dual-rank RAM.
>>729083917is non 3d 5700x still being made?
>>72908313024GBnice>DDR6into the trash it goes
you bought 32GB DDR4 RAM and another NVMe SSD just in case.Future is looking pretty dark ngl
>>729087126>complaining about the memory type instead of interface widthNGMI you brainlet fag
>XDFuck off integrated tranny.
>>729087232wtFUCK how'd you know
>>729083041Not upgrading.
>>729086708>2 fpsyou have to realize >=500 ms frametimes aren't coming from the RAM being clocked slightly differently. this shit is an outlier that shouldn't be included in a serious comparison.
