stepee Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 1 minute ago, Bacon said: I forgot to mention this, but part of me thought the PayPal notification was going to be like a dollar as a joke after the post I made in the OpenCritic thread. So, @stepee, what do you think I should do? @Spork3245 mentioned that the next-gen CPUs might come out/get announced in Oct/Nov. I had planned to just wait until then. Were you expecting me to buy all the parts except for the GPU asap? Like, I know it's up to me. I know you didn't give it to me just to dictate how I spend it, but I would like to know what you were expecting me to do. Cuz I'd gladly buy everything but the GPU today if that was what you were expecting. I'm just currently doing the smart thing by waiting even tho my monkey brain wants me to BUY BUY BUY! I kinda thing you should wait? Just to get better shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Intel has no plans to recall those crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, hasn't halted sales, and the damage to affected chips may be permanent | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM No recall, no halting of sales, and no comment on warranty extensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 1 minute ago, stepee said: I think for cpu amd is best atm, lord knows intel has been awful It is better for everything else. But according to gamer's nexus intel just works better for FFXIV. Actually after googling, I guess that AMD isn't bad. People say the "huge 3D-cache" is great for FFXIV, whatever that means, but intel is a bit better. That said, hardly anyone seems to be recommending Intel because why get a CPU that really only benefits one game. 6 minutes ago, stepee said: You’ve seen the reports right? And yes, I saw. Even if I were to get intel, I wouldn't until I was sure there were no longer issues. I was originally going to go AMD when you sent the first 1k because I knew there were intel issues. It was only later that I learned that FFXIV was better on intel. And again, it is stupid to get a CPU for one game, especially when you still get over 200fps with AMD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'd wait and see how the 9950X will do against the 7800X3D. Rumor is it will only be $600, which is a pretty good price for 16 fast cores. I'd guess it'll overall be slightly slower than the 7800X3D, but might win a few times. Memory performance is said to be improved with the 9000 series, so if FFIX is memory-latency bottlenecked (which suggests why Intel does better) then maybe it could be faster than the X3D. But I doubt you can go wrong with either choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
