You can use mastodon from Lemmy? I don’t have it so I don’t know how that works.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls him that. Same think.

LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.

I haven’t had Facebook in 10 years lol. I don’t have a vote on this one.

So I’ll be using Linux for gaming. But I know I can do the same in Linux. Other than Doom the dark ages, I see no games I’m interested in that may possibly need an upgrade in hardware. And I’m gonna assume if my 4770/1060 can run eternal at 60fps high/ultra 1080p I’ll be fine for the future.

That seems like unreal engine 5 problems. I won’t be buying games with unreal engine 5. I don’t like the way they feel while playing.

It would continue their cycle in your body more than likely. Since the eggs are layer externally, if you catch my drift.

God. Damn. It.

Mods, beat this man with giant bad dragon dildos. And a permanent ban on all instances.

I think I’m gonna go for the 3060ti. It’s better than the 4060, and can provide me some future proofing for my next build. This time around I’m only spending $90 on ram and a motherboard. I already have a 9600k sitting around.

So in a year or two I’ll go with a more current gen ryzen 5 and I’ll still have a 3060ti for it. I enjoy the budget, and cheap builds. Keeps me always wanting more at the end of the day. Keeps me greatful lol

Mint > literally all OS, Mobile or PC.

So I’ve been checking out the 7600xt and the 7700xt. I thought those were $200 cards used. They’re going for $300?

1080ti comes with the caveat of trying to find a sfx power supply to host it. Well…I guess they all do. But I’ll need a 700 watt. I have a 500 watt right now.

Yes and to be clear it will not run older titles well and won’t support my current platform.

Yes helldivers seems to be optimized for NASAs Minecraft computer for TNT simulation. Not standard computers. But man…I’m running into 20-60fps depending on what’s going on in game. If I could do 40-60fps that’s a win for me.

I have the game heavily loaded to the GPU side in riva tuner. It’ll usually be 90% GPU and 60/80% CPU load.

Medium-high, 1080p, fsr quality, dx11.

My max processor on that mobo being 9900k gives me the smallest wiggle room but it’ll be okay. I don’t need 4k ultra dlss 240fps cyberpunk RTX gameplay. I want 1080p, 60fps low-med stable gameplay. I can leave the graphics envy to the kids with money.

I’m still dailying my Acer c720 Chromebook with Linux mint lol. I’m thankful the flimsy changing port hasn’t given out yet. But it’s coming.

Yep. Give me a 4c/8t 16gb ram and a med-low GPU and I have nothing to complain about.

Does it have to be the 9600?

Yep. The 9600k is sitting on my desk right now. Motherboard and ram in the mail.

I’d guess you’re probably not buying new but the new prices of the 9600 and 10600KF are very similar on PCPartPicker.

Got it for free from my nephew.

If you can’t make it work for the B580 then a 2080 for $200 would offer excellent price to performance, though you may find yourself limited by the 8 GB VRAM before too long. If you can find a 6700 XT for no more than $260 or a 2080 Ti for no more than $275 that would offer about the same price to performance as the B580 (based on TechPowerUp’s database of relative GPU performance). Knock about $30-40 off those prices to have price to performance on par with a $200 2080.

I’m stuck with the 9600k as it was free. I’m paying $90 total for the mobo, and ram. That’s practically half a computer for $90 bucks. Adding a CPU into the mix would make this upgrade a non starter. Plus it’s 30% improvment just in CPU upgrade. Id love to get a reasonably priced 2080!

Yep! Have no idea what resizable BAR is. But I won’t have it on my next upgraded rig. I will always be 2-6 gens behind on hardware for ram and CPU. My most current rig is a 8750h/1060. And it’s putting around fine.

Yes, thank you for this. I’m going to dig more though some options. It might be just me, but the CPU/GPU benchmark and bottleneck sites seem like their just covering their asses on performances? Like they don’t want to be explicit about pairing cards and processors.

I did fantasize about a 1080ti. It would need a very large upgrade for power supply and I’m using a sff power supply. Just mentioning it.

I just checked 1080ti is about $50 less on ebay

So the Intel budget card explicitly does not support 9th gen Intel. Oddly enough I just listened to the LTT wan show and they mentioned it.

When the 5k series comes out hopefully they’ll dump pricing a bit more. I’d be perfectly fine with a 3060 or TI!

Also thank you for the write up!

He did carry around some pretty large wood.
