I'd argue that going to an SSD for me was as dramatic an upgrade as going from 4MB to 20MB RAM on my 486 all those years ago!!!

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that 10 bit colour was available on GeForce and Titan cards when you use the Studio Driver from nVidia rather than the Game Ready Driver. If this is the case then it will save you a tidy packet.

It all depends on use really. If gaming is the primary concern then the 2990wx is a waste of time really. The 5960x is an 8 core cpu, which is fairly modest by modern standards for a high end CPU. Either the 3900x, or forthcoming 3950x will be fine, they would offer similar or better gaming...

I went with the ASRock x570 Taichi which I'm very happy with. I'm using BIOS 1.8 which works well for me. I have set up a custom profile for the chipset fan so that it doesn't come on until it reaches 50C (which it hasn't so far even in this warmer weather).

I've recently upgraded from a 3770k to a Ryzen 3900X. It has been much more than a simple CPU upgrade though. In short: CPU goes from 3770k to 3900X RAM goes from 32GB DDR3 1600 to 64GB DDR4 3200 GPU goes from 1080 to 2080Super SSD goes from 1TB Crucial SATA to 2TB Corsair MP510 NVMe The GPU...

Could it be that you have a weak DIMM there? Have you tried swapping out the DIMMs to see if there is one that doesn't clock as well? Have to say I'm enormously impressed with the Micron-D on the Corsair sticks. I had almost worked myself up that I'd made a mistake by not going down the Bdie...

I get 3200MHz at C16 (the XMP Profile for the Ram) without any problem. Which motherboard do you use? I know the X570 Taichi likes 4 Dimms due its T-topology layout as opposed to the daisy chain layout.

I have the following Corsair kit CMW64GX4M4C3200C16 This is 4 x 16GB Dual Rank DIMMS All 4 slots are occupied on my X570 Taichi with a 3900X. The chips on my kit are Micron-D The kit works just fine when set to the XMP profile. No tweaking needed to get it to work. I've not many any further...

Mine is on its way. The only snag is I’m away until the end of the week!

This is a common argument that comes around fairly often in varying guises. The real thing is to look at your use case and determine what trade offs you are prepared to make. The real question I would ask is whether more cores or more performance per core is the most important. Unless you...

The total bandwidth available on X570 Ryzen 3000 is considerably more, but only if the NVMe drives and graphics cards can use PCIe 4.0. For most high end boards there are 3 M2 slots which are at PCIe 4.0 x4. These will all work without reducing single GPU operation to x8. In reality though...

I have a 3770k and with my 2080Super (the first bit to actually arrive of my system wide upgrade) I’ve run a few in game benchmarks. Interestingly, for instance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider the benchmark reports that it is GPU bound only 27% of the time and that’s when using RTX shading, this is...

I’m holding out for a 3900x. The difference between a 3700x and it is more than what my whole CPU can do now so I find that quite appealing. While the 3950x will have another 4 cores it is also going to be quite a lot more expensive as it doesn’t really have any competitor. Going back a few...

I was advised the same regarding my order which has a number of other parts on it. When I placed the order all the parts were showing in stock apart from the 3900X.

I'm absolutely sure the wait will be worth it though.

I'd go one further and say my bit has been chomped. Although the delay has allowed me to go way over the top and I've decided I'm going to go full hardline water cooling as well now. Wallet is hurting!!

The wait is killing me! Although the RAM I have on my order is now out of stock so hopes are fading into the sunset.

Moving from a trusty i7 3770k to a 3900X here. It’ll be partnered with an ASRock X570 Taichi, Corsair 3200 DDR4 and a Corsair MP510 SSD. Hopefully this will prove to be another base setup that will last for many years.

I got mine from Overclockers and now after a couple of months use is still performing flawlessly.

This video from Linus https://youtu.be/ehvz3iN8pp4 will probably answer your question. To be honest even a 2080ti is going to struggle with AAA titles on this monitor. Remember it has 33% more pixels than a 4K display. I probably only spend 5% of my time gaming and then only really play titles...
