After 7 years of great service, time has come to retire my 4790K.
These are new specs:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crossfire VIII Hero
CPU: Ryzen R9 3900x
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB 3600MHz CL16
SSD’s: Samung EVO Plus 970 500Gb NVMe - Samung EVO Plus 970 1TB NVMe
I’m looking forward to amd punching above mid-range in their gpu department. Took them a decade to become actual competition again in the cpu department, how long must we wait for them to make good gpus again? I had an amd gpu in every pc I’ve had (I’m talking since way back in the ATI days) up until the most recent when i said fuck amd, I want ACTUAL top of the line. I’m not paying attention to them until they release an xx80 ti competitor.
I only upgraded from my 1080ti (which was doing a lot of games at 2160p or higher at max setting >60fps) so I could get 4k at >120hz). I wasn’t planning on upgrading for a while otherwise. You should be good for a while.
