Yep, I do not regret getting my discount 10900KF.
I do kind of regret returning the 5800x. I think perhaps if a 5900x comes up in an opportunity, it might mean my wife gets an i9-10900KF upgrade.
I pulled the trigger and bought 9900K. Don’t have to buy motherboard.
Yeah, the only star is 11600K.
I figured the 11600k and the 11400 would be the all-stars this time around. AMD has nothing to compete.
The higher end Intel chips are DOA , though, IMO.
Yeah, the temperatures and power consumption figures from 11900K makes my eyes bleed.
5600X still a better buy if the price drops. 11400 is undisputed value king.
What they need to do is drop the 5600x to $249 and then a 5400G with integrated graphics for $200.
As a 8700K owner, I feel kind of like how a lot of the 2600K owners felt for years.
Yeah, just get yourself 10900K if you need the upgrade. Only i5 is worth considering for Rocket.
I made a thread about this a while ago - I agree wholely.
Looks like I’m rocking the i7-7700K for another year or so. I may sell my unopened RAM and wait for DDR5 to come out.
I play at a bigger resolution than 1080p as well so I am not impacted that much versus some of the newer CPUs.
8700k for life
Still use it every day!
Right now I use it to play scary games in the living room before bed with the wife.
Playing “The Medium” right now on it with the Vega 64. Interestingly enough, I feel it will last for quite a long time (as long as it doesn’t break) since with even the Vega 64, I can play almost all the games at 1080p/60 or 720p/60. At the distance I play at on the TV it doesn’t really matter, and the 8700k is able to hold 60fps incredibly easy whereas the Ryzen 5 1600 would struggle sometimes.
Makes me wonder how much longer a 6700k will be serviceable as a living room rig CPU. Probably a few more years if willing to cap at 1080/1440, but then again my roomie plays stuff like Genshin Impact on it and gets 4k60 without any trouble at all, so maybe resolution capping won’t be as necessary as expected.
If you upgrade to RTX 30, you will need to upgrade CPU too. Nvidia cards got driver overhead.
Good to know. That box is running a 5700 XT which should hold out for a good while, but on the off chance it gets upgraded it’ll probably be another AMD card.
Yeah 5700XT should be good for 1080p for quite a while IMO.
And it’s great since it also appears to perform better on haswell-era i7’s than the 3070 does due to the driver overhead Rythalia mentioned.
The 5700XT is actually one of the best GPUs I’ve purchased in recent years. My wife uses it daily and it works great.
Mostly worse than 10900k
You are losing focus of the main thing here.
The 10900k in all these reviews are stock. Not overclocked. In the games where the 5900x wins? The 10900k wins once overclocked and you are using 4000mhz+ Ram. A 5.1 or 5.2 10900k beats the 5900x in gaming.
Take this from someone who has been on both the 5800x (which ran hotter than any processor I’ve ever used) and the 5900x.
The 10900k OC with 4000mhz+ Ram is still king. It’s best to just stick with this CPU until the end of this year when both Zen4 and Intel’s 12th Gen release. Both processors are going to be from the ground-up redesigns. They both launched at the end of 2021
I’m at 5.1-5.3 turbo table, but usually it’s about 5.1ghz.
I could increase to 5.2 minimum, but then likely means 1.4v
