pram posted:the new ryzen looks good but the problem with amd has always been the motherboards are trash. idk what the sitch is these days That was mostly a consequence of amd farming out their chipsets and having tons of problems as a result. With everything being embedded in the cpu now and the motherboard mostly just being traces with uefi strapped on its a lot harder to gently caress up like in the old days

yeah, things like ULi chipsets and chaintech motherboards just simply don’t exist anymore.

intel just announced that ice lake is coming to mobile by the end of the year. I guess no new iMac Pro update this year, unless they go amd (they won’t)

the problem with ryzen 3000’s is that the vrm quality actually might matter at least a little bit due to precision boost overdrive, which is like a speedstep/turbocore auto oc thingy and i still haven’t sussed out what’s what on that front, so good luck, really. you can save money going with x470/b450 so long as the bios has been updated for the new parts. but again, that’s also hard to know for sure.

also, skylake i7 to zen 2 is a lateral move at best when it comes to games. if you’re really limited by that 6700k, i don’t think a zen 2 is gonna help much. you might need to be looking at those 5GHz 9900k’s if you’re certain. also alternatively, stop playing battlefield 5 if that’s what’s screwing everything up, it performs like dog poo poo on any reasonable hardware and that’s the one I hear everyone complain about.

I'm probably going to be going with an RX 590 rather than a GTX 1660Ti so: maybe AMD is good again?

I got a 9700k because I paid 0 dollars over the 9600 for it due to an error, and got a 2070 for 200 dollars off too. Both of these parts make no sense and are extremely illogical but I lucked out and own them anyway. Don't buy intel atm. Goddamn a 5ghz 8 core blows my mind tho.
