Now I'm wondering what to do. I have a 2600, maybe I'll bite on the 3900xt.
I need a pcie 4 mobo for next gen ssd's.Do you need this for way more than gaming or something? That CPU should last you another three years easily for gaming at least.
I suspect my 6600K won't do great with games out this year. It's below the recommended for Kena.
Getting a 3070 for lots of money and having games still run kind of assy for another four months or whatever would not feel fantastic.
The 4.0 situation with Intel seems flaky.
Getting a 3600 in the meantime seems like the least unideal option. Perhaps it'd even make sense to "settle" for a 3700X.
There's apparently a chance this will all turn out to be false, so let's hope for that.
I doubt you wil see much or at all performance gains for gaming with a gen 3 chip.Should I get a 3000 Ryzen if I have a plain 2700 or should I wait until the 4000 series?
They were definitely slated for 2020, September-OctoberWere peple really expecting them this year? When I heard about the XT series coming out in 2020, I just assumed the 4000 series had been pushed back to 2021.
Yeah, perhaps that'd make more sense. Would just need to be decent enough for whatever games are out between September and February or some such.
Why would you need to upgrade the 3900x at all so soon? You should be good for years honestly, unless you have some crazy workflow going that will max out those 12 cores.Now i can feel comfortable with my 3900x. :) Upgrade my gpu this year and upgrade the 3900x next year! Awesome news honestly!

It's such a powerhouse for the money.
Yeah I know but I figured it would be a bit weird for them to release a refresh of the 3000 series in July, then release a totally new 4000 series only months later in Sept/Oct. I'm actually surprised we are getting 4000 series so early in 2021. I assumed it would be July 2021.
Sry confusing naming and all. Meant the 3000 series.By "gen 3" do you mean Ryzen 3000, or Ryzen 4000 (Zen 3)?
Going from Zen+ to Zen 2 is already a notable uplift in gaming performance. If Ryzen 4000 (Zen 3) ends up being another 10% better, say, which isn't farfetched, that would be fairly worthwhile for high refresh gaming now (higher minimum frametimes / more consistent experience), and to give you more performance overhead and longevity going into the new generation of console games which assuredly will need more power for a given performance level.
I just wish AMD could shake up the GPU market in the same way.
Okay thanks. What GPU would you recommend, a 2080 Ti or wait for 3000 series? I already have a standard 2070.
I hope they arent using hbm memory. Radeon 7 was not great. Plus didn't hbm drive the cost up.Current-gen RDNA chips are already better than we expected, and AMD are claiming an impressive 50% PPW uplift for RDNA2. Now, maybe a good part of that will be due to them using HBM2/HBM3 as speculated - but still. There's serious potential.

and here I though we wanted cheaper cardsCurrent-gen RDNA chips are already better than we expected, and AMD are claiming an impressive 50% PPW uplift for RDNA2. Now, maybe a good part of that will be due to them using HBM2/HBM3 as speculated - but still. There's serious potential.
Navi was waited on forever and they released 4 cards that are not beating the expensive RTX cards much, and didnt even beat the old 570/580 in the case of the 5500. Their impact is significantly less that what Ryzen did on the CPU sideCurrent-gen RDNA chips are already better than we expected, and AMD are claiming an impressive 50% PPW uplift for RDNA2. Now, maybe a good part of that will be due to them using HBM2/HBM3 as speculated - but still. There's serious potential.
I'm not certain they could even stay the same if they go HBM2. if they could, I think we'd be seeing them alreadyI don't care if the price stays the same if the PPC actually sees an uplift tbh. RTX 2060 Super costs and performs the same as a GTX 1070 ti/1080...
That 5nm rumor always felt like wishful thinking for a 2020-2021 release. That probably won't happen until late Zen 3 refreshes or Zen 4. Unless Intel cracks the code to their troubled 10nm process and starts spanking AMD on all fronts again, AMD can ride 7nm(+) for at least a year or two more.Zen 3 not coming out until after CES 2021 is not convenient for me at all. It would only be worth it if the 5nm rumor that Digitimes also reported on turned out to be true, but AMD just reconfirmed 7nm in response to that same report.
So...
fuck.
