your quotes, not mine
I don’t need to, I didn’t post those numbers…you did. The proof is not on my shoulders but yours, you made the statement, you go prove them. Stop trying to pivot this conversation to save face.

7900xtx in stock on AMD website.
worth the upgrade to it from a 3080fe on 3440x1440p to pair with my 5800x3d?
To play my gameboy advance emulators and potentially move on to other emulators?

The quote is correct. Reviewers don’t update their reviews. Not saying we shouldn’t listen to their data but it’s just data.
Those were examples to prove a point.
Ocassionally, they will do revisits, which I find really interesting. Hardware Unboxed does it pretty frequently on the more competitive product segments. It was really validating to see two parts that I bet on long term when choosing parts perform as well as they did, years later: 8700K (versus Ryzen 5 1600) and 5700XT (versus 2060 Super/2070 Super at the time).
Turns out between driver updates and the hardware in general, I bet well.
made up examples don’t prove points, they just prove you make things up
ryzen 5 1600 was never a good gaming CPU, at release it was OK and had a longer shelf life of mediocrity compared to the intel quads it was priced against
the 8700k even today (especially when OC) is a capable gaming CPU

A lot of the reviewers recommended the 1600 as a good “all arounder” basing that decision on gaming performance with a GTX 1080 ti. At that time people laughed at 720p results, but I saw them for what they were. Fast forward to 5 years, the 1600 can’t even keep up with an RTX 3060 and it takes a 3090 or so to tap out a 8700k for the most part.

I feel attacked…during Covid I swapped between a 9900k, 5900, and 5950. To finally settling down to a 5800x3d.

what did you see between them all and what was the reason for swapping?
Virtual machines was the “good” reason.
In terms of gaming… on average almost non existence with the exception of some niche games where the 5800x3d is just the better choice.
I lost interest in overclocking years ago and chose silent builds, so they were uv (9900k @4.7ghz with 1.1v) 5900x with -20 pbo. 5950x was not a good chip so I just left it alone.
The 5900x was “better” for the most part cause I tend to have some vms running in the background.
Work was finally able to move us to the newer laptops

Like I said just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean other don’t.
Some recent data on memory scaling and Zen4:

clearly understand especially when you attempt to change the subject (like this current post and many others) to avoid the fact you lied, got caught, and now try to save face. It’s truly pathetic.
