2·4 days agoThey are end of life now and have ceased production, but if you can manage to find a 5800X3D , that CPU is the definition of sleeper. I had a 5700X I think it was, and the performance boost was f***ing unreal, I expected meagre gains, I saw 20 to 50% performance increase on many games. if you’re into that kind of thing. if you see one for sale, seriously think about grabbing it.
its the whole reason aside from the OS issue, Im not even remotely worried about the next few years, it can compete with the high end stuff of the AM5 generation still. unreal.
might have been a deal. some retailers are dumb and think lower number means worse, so discount justified. lol
Realistically the AM4 is still more than enough for now. but its technically end of life. the AM5 isn’t worth the jump until theres no other option.
I’d have an easier time laughing at his sad state if I wasn’t already mad that the guy is objectively a traitor and a goon of Vladimir Putin.
Its just gonna be a question of how unsecure Win10 gets , and how fast.
My pc is from 2019, although I’ve upgraded the hardware several times. But I’ve basically reached a ceiling of practicality, its no longer practical to upgrade anything. Im on an outdated chipset (AM4) and jumping from a 3080 to a 4080 isn’t really going to fix the problem of games just being unoptimized. It makes more sense to build a new PC than it does to just change OS on this.
but right now, it just doesnt make sense to build a new PC either… I dont lift a finger on anything unless im going to be able to see at minimum 20% performance increase, I just dont see that without emptying my savings account…
I have about 7-9 months to decide what to do with my PC. I don’t want to move to windows 11. Because I will have to basically fresh-install my entire system that has 4 drives and god knows how many antiquated programs on it from the XP, Vista and 7 era that I still use. and Im just not ready for it. Im too busy
headache
yeah, we still have a TV package but I havent had a TV in my office where I spend most of my awake off-time, there’s nothing worth watching anymore for me, just awful programming , news, sports, and PPV/Inferior on demand services.
I dont even use netflix anymore, I rage-quit after falling for that tyson paul bait and switch scam. the only “TV” I watch anymore is like streams of 15 year old adult cartoons like the Boondocks and South Park. and whatevers on my buddy’s Plex server. almost entirely old stuff more than 5 years old.
watching the news is just brain rot. you can get informed by 10 mins of scrolling current events on many different websites… if you feel the need to be informed.
