 magic_rb | I DLed cyberpunk, lets see | 09:04:32 |
| magic_rb | Cyberpunk exhibits the same, 60-70% across all cpus, around 100W on the gpu | 09:12:21 |
| magic_rb | But it runs on rt: ultra at 1080p@60 | 09:17:18 |
 K900 | Do you maybe have vsync/some sort of FPS limit on? | 09:29:42 |
| magic_rb | I mean yes | 09:32:17 |
| magic_rb | Its capped to 60, now it does 45 | 09:32:26 |
| magic_rb | The cpu is at 80% average | 09:32:33 |
| magic_rb | 85% all core, im probably extremely cpu bottlenecked | 09:33:16 |
| magic_rb | Lol okay, cpu bottleneck. Even on steam deck quality i dont get 60fps lmao | 09:46:25 |
| magic_rb | Ig i have to buy a new cpu | 09:46:34 |
 marienz | Or monitor, if your goal is to make the GPU work harder (9070xt probably on the high end in most games at 1080p60) | 10:15:39 |
| marienz | (...to upgrade the CPU you'd end up having to upgrade the motherboard + RAM too, and esp. for RAM now is not a good time to upgrade price-wise) | 10:25:15 |
| marienz | no, I lie, 2600x is AM4, newer CPUs for that are still available | 10:27:01 |
 9lore | 5800X3D is still being produced iirc | 10:28:16 |
| magic_rb | Yeah i can go to 5000 series | 10:29:43 |
| magic_rb | Im on the second gen am4 cpus | 10:29:56 |
| marienz | (I have a 5900x (and 9070xt) but don't have either of the games you tested so I can't run comparisons of them for you. But if you're more interested in gaming performance than cpu-bound workloads that can make use of higher core counts a 5000-series x3d would make sense as an upgrade, assuming motherboard + BIOS support them which as far as I remember they should (might need a BIOS update first but that's not a big deal)) | 10:32:15 |
| magic_rb | I care also about workstation stuff | 10:32:45 |
| magic_rb | So i may go for 5950x | 10:32:51 |
| magic_rb | Cause its easier to justify the expense if this system doubles as my workstation | 10:33:12 |
| K900 | 5950X3D are also still in production AFAIK | 11:07:46 |
| magic_rb | Currently im working on a 12700h laptop, which is decent, but im gonna take a wild guess that a 3950x is way more powerful | 11:10:03 |
| K900 | If you want workstation and video games on one machine | 11:08:19 |
| marienz | 5950x3d does not exist (other than as a prototype) if I understand correctly, 5000-series x3d caps out at 5800x3d (8 cores / single CCD) | 11:10:22 |
| K900 | Ugh | 11:10:39 |
| K900 | Yeah sorry | 11:10:41 |
| K900 | Thinking of 7950X3D | 11:10:47 |
| K900 | But that's AM4 | 11:10:51 |
| K900 | * But that's AM5 | 11:10:55 |
| marienz | yeah, it's annoying but it is what it is | 11:11:17 |
