AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D vs Intel 12th gen build

[Journey]

Yes, direct storage *may* improve performance by a few fps but I’d rather put that money to a better GPU or cpu which you will definitely notice.

Please demonstrate where £5-20 will put you up another CPU or GPU rung on your suggested build, over getting a faster SSD. Oh, it won't as the OP has an RTX 3080 already, and is getting the best gaming CPU period. So your advice doesn't hold up at all, what it will do is hold his system back in the future.

With Microsoft DirectStorage, Game Load Times Dip to 2 Seconds or Less

Upcoming PC title Forspoken is incorporating Microsoft's game-boosting DirectStorage API, and we got a glimpse of what it can do at the Game Developers Conference.

The 980 non pro is DRAMless so once it fills up, performance tanks. That’s poor advice right there.

It's faster than the SSD you recommended even when full, and isn't even worth worrying about unless you are hammering the driver with 10's of GB's consecutively, ans it was an example of a drive in the price range, rather than an outright recommendation .

Good morning everyone


I just had a read and thank you for all your input.

First I am getting another 16GB Ram to max out at 32, good call, I was thinking about it and it's the way to go

Second, thank you for the NVME Drive advice, that was a good call and I don't mind spending a few more bucks and be prepped for DirectStorage in case it becomes a thing, went for the Samsung 980 1TB.

Best

Yeah this is a great drive way better value than the 980 Pro. I just realised they selected that over the normal 980.
