That's great!
I also contacted overlockers thanks to @LiE suggesting it and they kindly sent me a code too today

Well after an epic struggle with acrylic tubes I have finally finished my build with MBA 7900xtx and EK waterblock
Ran 3Dmark at 1440p and not sure what a normal score is at moment but I got 14130 graphics score, will have to have a good testing session when I have a chance.

I do have to go into WH3 and check whether I get any coil whine, at the moment I have none but I did get some on the campaign map so thats the next thing to check.

SAM on Vs off test on a 7900 XTX and a 5800X3D. Benefits every game, even if only by a few FPS in the last example SOTTR.

First time posting in this thread so please go easy on me.
I've got a dilemma and need some guidance on what to do next. I'm looking to scrap my current PC and build something entirely new (i7-8086k, 2070 Super and 16GB DDR4). I play at 1440p 165Hz (FreeSync compatible) and have no intention right now to move to 4K. Budget is around £2k but can go higher if justified.
I was originally looking at a 4070 Ti for circa £850-900, but reviews and benches just don't seem appealing. 7900 XT the same. 4080 seems overpriced for what it is and I refuse to pay £1500+ for a 4090. This leads me to the 7900 XTX. £1100 is palatable as it seems on par and even beats the 4080 in non ray traced games. It obviously suffers with ray tracing turned on but hopefully with better optimised drivers that will improve. It's £100-200 cheaper at a minimum which makes the 4080 seem like awful value.
I'm just not sure what to do - go for the 7900 XTX, drop down to the 4070 Ti or stump up extra for a 4080? I'm upgrading from a 2070 Super so any of the options will surely be a huge upgrade.
Also if I end up going down the route of an AMD card, would it make sense to twin it with a Ryzen for the smart access memory benefit?

If you can wait then I would suggest you do so. 7800X3D will be out in next couple of months and that is most likely going to be the cpu to have for the next 12 months and will be great for many years after as well.
GPU prices are finally dropping and I would expect further reductions once the mid range cards have been released. Nv in particular have priced their product stack high and AMD have unfortunately followed this tactic , this is to create room for the lower tiered cards to be priced high as well and maximise Nv/AMD profits.
A Ryzen 4 build is a very tempting system so if you make you mind up to go that route you can start to plan and try to source some hard to find components. If I was going for a Ryzen 4 set up I would be looking to get 6000mhz cl30 ram and that is very hard to find most of the time, try to pick some up when it is in stock. Can also think about other components such as mobo, can be complicated to understand the X670/B650 features and what mobo actually has what.
TLDR - Wait.

I’ve been looking into this in regards to mobos. Is PCIE 5.0 worth it if the pc is purely for gaming.
I had no idea about the 7800X3D. Looks like it's arriving April 6th priced at $449. No idea what that equates to in reality or how difficult it will be to get.
The official benches are showing it's up to 24% faster than the i9-13900K which retails at £600. If the 7800X3D comes in cheaper then it seems like a no brainer to wait if giving serious consideration to a Ryzen/Radeon build, surely?

At the moment no , PCIE 5 is just there for future components. If we use the comparison between pcie 3 and 4 for an example then not having 4 is no big deal , 4090 loses approx 2% when run at pcie 3 speeds and pcie 3 ssds are still very fast and easily good enough for the average user. If you are going to keep a mobo for 10 years then it may be worthwhile to have pcie 5 but pcie 4 will be good enough for the next 5 years imo.
There are certain game such as Factorio that are massively faster with the X3D chips but those are exceptions and not the average over all games. Reviewers have simulated a 7800X3D by disabling the non X3D CCD on a 7950X3D and it is very impressive but nowhere near that amount faster in the majority of games. In general it was 0-10% faster in most titles with the exceptional amazing result, iirc it was never slower than a 13900k in the HWunboxed review.
I’m in a similar situation to yours, I have a 8700k & 1080ti. I’ve moved up from standard 1440p to ultrawide getting the AW3423DWF recently. I’m waiting on the results of the 7800x3d next month before deciding on intel or AMD & do the upgrade in the summer, graphics card wise I’ve been swaying between the 4080 & 7900xt/x.
The other day I’d decided(or so I thought) on the xt & put the £200-£300 towards the rest of the upgrade, but now I’m again coming back towards the 4080/xtx.

I also just moved from a 2070 Super to a 7900XTX and it's a world of difference - well worth the outlay and once I sell the RTX card that'll bring it sub £1k so even better value!
I moved to a 5800X3D as well and it's really been a boon for the games I've played so far with more to try! Have managed it without upgrading my 750w Corsair 80+ Gold PSU either which I though might be just too little power but do far all good!
Do you think it's worth holding out for the 7800X3D then or just going in for 7950X3D? I'm only going to use it for gaming and the occasional casual stream, no production or video work.
I'm swaying more towards the 7900XTX at the moment, which then surely makes sense to go for a Ryzen chip so I can make use of AMD's smart access memory? I watched a video on this with benches and it was making up to a 20% difference in some games!
If it was possible to snag a 4080 at sub £1100 then I'd be very tempted, but I can't find anything evenly remotely priced like that. Whereas a quick Google shows a handful of XTX's at sub £1050.
How long after 6th April will the 7800X3D be available at OcUK or will it be on launch? @Gibbo
That's great to hear!
When did you make the jump? Did you consider holding out for the new 7xxx CPU's?

Wait for the 7800X3D imho. If you get the 7950X3D you will just be paying £250 more for no real reason, your use case will not require 16 cores and with the 7800X3D being a single CCD it is a simpler chip with no thread scheduling issues.
The 7800X3D is likely to be the most popular chip this year and will sell extremely fast. The initial batch will be sold at MSRP but I would expect stock shortages to force prices up in the short term before it drops back to MSRP in the medium term. Of course I have no idea about what stock levels will actually be and this is just my prediction.
7900XTX prices are also very likely to drop in the next few months as well so it is a good time to buy ..... not been able to say that for the last few years.

Only upgraded last week but I'm sticking with AM4 on a B450 mobo for now so wanted the best I could get for gaming on that platform which from what I've heard is the x3d chip!

Getting ready for the 4090 beatings
(And watching the Smart meter destroy itself)Has anyone got/tried the asrock phantom gaming model? In my thread asking which of the handful of in stock models that fit my case I should get the response is for the two sapphire cards, no one has mentioned the other models(well 1 person mentioned the hellhound). While I do like the nitro+ I don’t know why but I seem to like the look of the asrock

It’s not been out for long. I cannot remember anybody on this thread mentioning they have one recently.

I think someone got it on overclock.net recently so may want to check the XTX owners thread there.
