What would you put in a gaming rig?






I've pretty much only ever heard about NVIDIA GPUs for years.

I'd do intel/nvidia since outside of high end professional level work, amd cpus aren't worth it
typically nvidia will push the specs further but at mid range amd is still worth it

Because Nvidia is screaming AI at the top of their lungs and before that they were screaming BLOCKCHAIN so most of the big investors went there.

I just made a new build with a 7800x3d and 7900xtx. Its great and ive had zero driver issues. I had an AMD GPU like 10 or so years ago and id have issues so I think its worth it now. Your going to sacrifice ray tracing to some extent though but I was ok with that.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

AMD CPUs are powerhouses right now, but I haven't heard any convincing arguments for AMD GPUs yet other than some iffy synergy with AMD CPUs. NVIDIA GPUs were always better because the drivers are always better

Although AMD CPUs are powerhouses, Intel CPUs still have a lot going for them like the Quick Sync chip for video decoding/encoding

Its great and ive had zero driver issues.

don't check the 'factory reset' box if you decide to upgrade to the 4/20 driver, then.

you're welcome, and apparently that one's pretty bad, like 'bsods before you can really do anything about it' bad. 'find some way to force windows recovery' bad.

All you need is a cheap intel CPU and whatever good mid range GPU you can find. AMD gpu is fine if you don't care about ray tracing or AI

If you are not wanting the absolute top of the line or don't care about ray tracing, AMD has much better value usually. They also seem to age better due to Nvidia giving less VRAM. Nvidia's DLSS is great though, and still notably better than FSR in most games.

Have a 7900xtx paired with a 3700x for now. Will upgrade the rest of the rig next year. I really like AMD though. Outside of my 1070, Ive had a better experience with amd compared to NVIDIA.

Yeah I did a quick search. Seems pretty bad.

Ray-tracing is a meme. Oh look, the shadows look slightly nicer but my FPS has been cut in half.

First person shooter?

More like half person shooter.
