That's a very very very old card, you are missing out on so much! Flight sim will eat that card for breakfast

You are banned from drinking, cigarettes, take-aways, parties, etc for 6 months! Save up right now and put that towards a new modern card... the world awaits and a good card will last 10 more years. That 1060 3GB is 8 years old and a few months..

You can do it!
 
Anybody excited for 9800x3d launch today? Should be the fastest gaming cpu on the planet. I will probably watch the gamers nexus review.
 
I'll be checking the reviews, but it doesn't seem very exciting so far from the data I've seen.

No point in upgrading for me, but nice to see AMD making changes and trying things.

Nah not really, just got the baby x3D chip a month ago :-)
 
currently waiting to build a rig so keen to see what these will do to "older" chips.
 
RIP Intel_ AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks vs. 7800X3D, 285K, 14900K, & More 28-46...png

Not bad. I guess in some places margins would put it close to $500. ~R12 000 more or less, this is ignoring our margins. This CPU came in above expectations, in compute it is on par with the 9700X, and it slaps the 7800X3D around here and there.

The order book on these will look good.
 
Having had a look at several reviews, I think that my gaming PC might have a 9800X3D. Will need to see local pricing though... watching the KitGuru review, some retailers told them that they can't do the small margin proposed by AMD's MSRP. LOL!

For me, this is the only graph that matters. That is good.

For those having to do both compute and gaming workloads, I can't see toggling turbo mode in the BIOS becoming tedious. This needs an in-OS solution. I don't think it will give the 7800X3D more grunt since though turbo mode is new, people applied this in the BIOS since launch. All it is now is a one-button toggle. I know the 7950X3D gets a little bit more grunt, but it is a here and there thing. The Linux Community, MS, and AMD need to solve this in the OS, not only in threading and parking, but also CCD utilisation. Process Lasso. ParkControl helps, but it is also a schlep, and more a patch than a cure. The people who made CPUCores will also have a band-aid in their new version, though that has been announced months ago with no update since.

They have 'AI' to solve this and that, but it can't solve this. Funny.

Anyhow, 9800X3D users will be happy. This CPU is phenomenal, and has blown away the usual 5% Zen improvement expectancies. Now I am curious what the 9900X3D and 9950X3D CPUs will look like, perhaps the dual V-Cache rumours are true, but I am struggling to see how well this can be implemented since in theory it would be "load-balancing' cache and in how these instructions work should technically increase response times, meaning to make it slower. Perhaps it will be the same as with the 7000X3D series or AMD have something new up their sleeve. Maybe they are solving this in the OS, but then it would be advantageous to the 7900X3D and 7950X3D too.

Have a good Christmas you all, put that 9800X3D on your Santa list.

Hardware Unboxed as well...actually stopped watching most tech channels because of how negative they are all the time.

I mean fair enough, the tech market has sucked for awhile but I don't need that negative energy in my recommends.

Maybe it is because the sponsors aren't dishing it out any more.
 
Spotted on progenix website!

Kinda pointless getting a 9800x3d right now though. Fine for future-proofing but these benchmarks are done with 4090s at 1080p.

In real life you won't see much difference by upgrading your CPU to play games with with your crappy GPU on mid settings at 4k.

We need to get to RTX 8090 to start seeing performance gains of future CPUs over this one at 4k resolution.

At 4k a 5800x3d will do just fine right now. Pick it up on carb and you're getting massive bang for the buck.
