I'm pretty seriously looking at switching from Intel to AMD with the Zen3 launch. My last AMD CPU was a Phenom II so I'm out of the loop with regards to AMD land. It looks like there will be no new chipsets for Zen3, is that right? It seems they would have announced something by now, and Asus just announced B550 boards to coincide with Zen3 launch. So that said, after researching B550 vs X570, X570 seems like the way to go for Zen3, at least as of now?

DrDork posted:No new chipsets, correct. The vast majority of B550 and a lot of B450 boards will be getting Zen 3 support, though maybe not until Dec/Jan. It seems like if you even want to have, say, two M.2 NVMe SSDs the X570 would be better no?

pixaal posted:Does x570 still have a mandatory chipst fan? I think that was a major selling point for the B550. Not that the x570 is going to get hot enough for that to spin up unless you are straight up one M.2 to the other M.2 at full speed for hours. I'm on a B450 because I bought at Zen 2 launch and choices were limited. The chipset fan probably isn't an issue for you, but it is for some people and you should know it exists if it is a problem for you. I gravitated to the MSI Tomahawk and thought the chipset fan was odd until I realized almost every X570 had one. I can't imagine that fan being an issue with regards to sound considering all the other fans in the case, plus the sound dampening of my case specifically.

sean10mm posted:X570 really only matters if you need to simultaneously connect a bunch of PCIe cards, M.2 drives and SATA devices simultaneously because it has more PCIe lanes. It seems like you hit a wall with even a minor "enthusiast" build though? Especially someone like me that refuses to give up on aging storage if it's still usable.

DrDork posted:In what sense? Yeah, it'll provide lower benchmarks if you're trying to bench two NVMe drives at the same time, but in real world scenarios you're not going to be trying to transfer 4Gbps to multiple drives at the same time. I see. I think my misunderstanding revolves around how PCIe lanes are actually used, or not used.

After doing the research, I'm totally fine only having the GPU and primary m.2 slot being pcie 4.0 as on b550. I'm curious about the price point on this new Asus Strix board coming out.

8-bit Miniboss posted:This honestly should be a baseline feature because when I got my Tomahawk last weekend and was updating the BIOS, I made the mistake of turning off my machine not realizing that the manual doesn't say it would do so on it's own and there was an LED hidden within the VRM heatsink that blinks when it's flashing though I thought the manual meant the flash drive's LED. So after I assembled everything it didn't power on with the debug LED claiming the CPU was at fault. I knew my processor was still good as I pulled it from my x370 board. It was then I realized I most likely had a bad flash and the board was essentially bricked but thanks to the low level control the flash button has, I was able to reflash it and it was working again. This is why, among some engineering decisions to be sure, Intel is just like no, gently caress you.

Senjuro posted:Went with 5800X for gaming instead of 5600X for the sake of futureproofing. It's not stupid if you can afford it. The heart wants what the heart wants. Edit - I tend to upgrade only on a 3-4 year cycle other than GPU so I want the extra cores.

This is almost true but there are some boards coming soon that are marketed for Ryzen 5000. Asus and Asrock, for example. Regarding BIOS on x570/b550 sorry on phone.

DrDork posted:Yeah, but you can't buy them yet, which makes an issue for people who just slammed buy on a 5x00 this morning. The fact that you can’t buy these boards yet is pretty hilarious. I assume those that were f5’ing today know what’s up but there’s certainly more than 0 that didn’t.

BurritoJustice posted:I guess I framed it poorly. I expected AMD to take the overall gaming crown, and they have in some games but on average they are still at or below current top Intel. I'm jealous of everything else but it wouldn't be a significant gaming upgrade like I expected with the jumps in other areas. No man, coming from a 9900k will not be a big upgrade in gaming. I don’t even expect a ‘wow moment’ coming from a 7700k but it’s time to upgrade.

Of course the Dark Hero board I've been waiting on instantly sold out on Newegg. At this point I'm just going to see whats on sale over the next couple of weeks.

A bit of a long shot here but I'd like to either rent someone's Ryzen 3x00, doesn't matter which, OR have someone flash an x570 for me. I have a TUF x570 that I bought around the time the 5x00 came out and I suspect it shipped with an older bios. I'd be more comfortable shipping my mobo to someone than renting the CPU honestly but it's more work. Anyway, please PM me and we can talk details, thanks! Edit - I should also mention that I'm in the US. Kaddish fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Dec 21, 2022 |

Not sure if it will work with the x570 bios version you have, though. Thanks, it may or may not work depending on the bios and board but probably too much hassle if it doesn't.

I guess everyone is different - I think VRR and RT is more noticeable than 1440p - 4k. At least on a computer monitor. I recently started gaming on my LG C2 65" and I'd also throw LCD - OLED into the very noticeable camp. (More than the jump from 1440p - 4k) I've actually been gaming at 1440p on the C2 because I only have a 3070/5800x powering it and I think it looks great.

Oh yeah, forgot HDR. That's also more noticeable than 4k. I didn't even play with HDR until I got the C2, it's pretty fantastic for games. My next computer monitor will absolutely be an OLED.
