I have seen by Gamers Nexus that there has been multiple reports regarding the 9800X3D chip. It seems that the Intel 149000KS are not the only CPUs with issues! hmm

Hello, I have a desktop PC. The current specs are CPU - Intel i7 8700K GPU - ASUS 1080TI RAM - Corsair DDR4 - 32GB Motherboard: ASUS X Hero As shown from the above specs, the GPU and CPU are old, and the PC is struggling when playing some games; notably Cities Skylines II. It manages games...

Hello, no. I forgot about the RAM so would certainly be open to ideas! Regarding the GPU - I am also open to ideas as to alternatives.

so I have put a few things together as a rough frame --- suggestions welcome! The specification below has been formatted so you can easily copy and paste this to our forums when discussing your specification. Once you've copied the specification, please click here to continue. Case CORSAIR iCUE...

Thank you for your thoughts; they are greatly appreciated. I suppose I also have tabs open on Edge, along with Discord - and therefore need that extra headroom, especially when playing games like CSII. I was thinking of 14900KS because of its much higher core-count: 8P and 16E. My machine is...

My monitor is an Asus 28 mg28uq 4k uhd - still a good monitor or should I consider something else? Was told that 4K monitor isn't ideal! (I've had it since 2017)

It seems like a lot of faff having to adjust things, especially when spending lots of money out on a CPU. There are drawbacks from both CPUs. AMD sounded perfect, but the core parking/scheduling issues make me wonder what other issues there are; I don't want to invest in a new rig for it to be...

It's a bit rubbish tbh because it means having to wait for various checks to take place. Regarding intel 14900KS , does this have any issues that the AMD struggles with. Does Intel have an equivalent problem whereby the chip has two sets of cores? or are all of their cores under one roof...

I was doing some late-night reading and have seen various accounts that chips like the 7950X3D cause Windows to struggle to shut down the non-3D V-Cache CCD, which can cause stuttering, issues with gaming, etc., and therefore, this chip should be avoided. There is talk that this has been...

It seems that the sweet spot may be the AMD 9950X3D which has 8 cores of 3D V-Cache within one CCD , and an additional 8-cores in the other CCD. that said, the 9950X3D or 7950X3D - I read that games wouldn't be able to utilise two CCDs at the same time, so would be an either or? is that right...

it's funny as time and again on forums people are really advising to steer clear of intel CPUs at the present time.

i would also be interested in your analysis of intel products; notably the 14900KS - is this chip worth looking at for gaming?

Thank you for the information and suggestions. I am happy to wait for the new CPUs if they provide a real advantage over the current generation. If I have understood you properly; essentially the 9800X3D is 8 core with 3D V-Cache contained within the one CCD which games can use all of. Whereas...

Hello, I have recently joined the forums; with lots of really knowledgeable people who give excellent advice. I am a novice when it comes to PCs, so will, with gratitude, I will be relying on your expertise! I have a desktop PC. The current specs are CPU - Intel i7 8700K GPU - ASUS 1080TI RAM...
