X3D in all normal use cases
If you do productivity tasks that are highly parallel and don't benefit as much from cache (as in blender, code compilation, AI workloads) then the top end *950X will serve you better

putting a desktop on your lap is a sign of being fucking insane
maybe you could get away with no case if you shove it under the bed where it doesn't get exposed to all the dirt directly but on your fucking lap? just how poor and stupid are you really

I'm probably getting a 5070ti or 5080, but I wanted a little bit of futureproof (6090).
Which CPU should I go for? The middle ground with 9900X3D being the choice?
>>713341657
it's the least futureproof one lmao
it only has 6 cores with viable gaming latency as opposed to 8 on the other two
the 9800x3d if you only game, 9950x3d if you do enough multicore shit to justify it
next gen amd cpus are increasing core counts to 12 anyway
>>713341657
There's no reason to get anything more than the 9800 if you're just gaming. The magic 3D cache is only present on the first 8 cores of all those chips, and they're the only ones that get used by games.
>>713340302 >The RTX 5070 Ti has faced several issues, including a manufacturing defect that can reduce performance by up to 10% due to missing render output units (ROPs). Additionally, users have reported problems like white artifacts in certain games and concerns about its price-to-performance ratio.
>>713341747 >>713341797
Guess I'll stick with the 9800 then. Will the next gen 12 cores be on AM5?
Also, while there's actual helpful people here, are there any specific mobos I should be looking at if I want to swap CPU to one of those 12 cores?
>>713341945
am5 will likely be supported until ddr6 so at least 2 generations
also i should clarify that when i meant 12 cores i meant that it would be complexes of low latency 12 cores
the 9950x3d is already 16 cores but those are 8+8 that incur a large latency penalty when communicating
next generation they're upping it to 12+12
>>713342093
Zen 6 desktop chips will be on AM5, Zen 7 in late 2027 will be on a new socket. Generations don't really work as a metric when they can just release refresh SKUs at any arbitrary point.
>>713341945
Given that the current generation of consoles have 8 cores it's likely that most game engines won't be optimised to work with more than that until the next console generation, even if AMD and Intel throw more cores into their CPUs.
>>713342093 >>713342249
I see, thanks guys.
Will the 9800X3D be enough to 4k60 switch games?
Which also brings me to the next question, 32GB DDR5 or 64GB DDR5?
Sorry for asking to be spoonfed so much.
>>713342249
Game engines certainly can address cores, that doesn't mean they're actually doing anything useful. The main bulk of every single rendering workload is serial in nature.
I ask you to get me 12 eggs. You can pick up 12 eggs yourself, or have 12 people all get 1 egg individually. You still have to travel to the store and back so no time is saved by more workers. This is literally how operations are processed.
>>713342363
32GB is more than enough for the moment but RAM is so cheap now and somewhat volatile in price over longer terms that there's no harm in getting 64GB
>>713343278
No he doesn't need a 1000w PSU, full load hes probably not hitting 700w 1ms peaks, far less in a typical game
The autism of power factor for AC to DC conversion and PSU efficiency is something I'm not even going to address. Having a little bit of headroom is always good though. Don't think that the wattage rating of a PSU means its always drawing a ton, it just has the potential to handle more current at a certain level of efficiency.
>>713343751
Sorry, let me reformulate. Is there any specific brand of PSU I should avoid? Be it because it tends to be faulty or have coil whine? Or is coil whine just down to luck?
>>713344010
Grab a decent Seasonic 650 to 800w
If you hear coil whine cover inductor coils in silicon, move your computer another foot away from you, wear headphones, or insulate your case with some sound dampening
