This is my main issue with AMD's GPUs and why I plan on switching back to Nvidia for the 5xxx series. Adrenalin is just such a giant, unintuitive piece of shit and so inferior compared to GeForce Experience/Windows integration from Nvidia.

I have 32gb RAM already. The VRAM on the RTX3070 is what I was saying was low.
The 5800x3d seemed like kind of a small upgrade for the price compared to what I’ve got. If that isn’t the issue it would be a large pointless purchase is why I didn’t think going that route would be worth the hassle.

I can imagine this affecting multiple people on this forum so I'm going to post it here:

Nvidia blames Intel for GPU VRAM errors, tells GeForce gamers experiencing 13th or 14th Gen CPU instability to contact Intel support
Even Nvidia is aware of Intel's instability issues with Raptor Lake

I'm eyeballing a 5800X3D hard and you wouldn't think it was a big upgrade over a 5600x .... but it is. The huge vcache of the X3D line will easily keep your system punching above its weight class for a couple more years. At this time they are top of the AM4 price/performance. Will most likely have to flash to latest bios firmware to use it, keep that in mind.
You are right though, high resolution textures in modern games (especially 4k) demand more than 8gb vRAM.

Glad I dodged that bullet. I didn't even consider intel this build cycle. They are basically backing themselves into a corner like the did with the pesshot P4's.I can imagine this affecting multiple people on this forum so I'm going to post it here:

Does anyone on here have any experiences , good or bad , with Beelink Mini PC's? I need to replace my living room HTPC front end and I'm looking on the lower end of things since it's really just something to push 4k movie rips off of a network connected HDD. Needs to do 4k but that should not be a problem, the Celeron J3455 POS I bought in '19 can do it.
Not so much worried about support, as I am getting a piece of junk. Never heard of them but the review sites are not knocking them, I just don't trust 'reviews'. I do trust all of your opinions.

Not used them personally but I’ve heard they’re pretty decent. I was eyeballing one of their AMD ones awhile back.Does anyone on here have any experiences , good or bad , with Beelink Mini PC's?

Nice to see the 7900XTX above the 4080 super, it's cheaper so I'm likely going to get that one.

I finally put in the time today to gut my old, old case, then move my current pc’s guts down in order to fill it with a full system upgrade. Took me the better part of the day, but so worth it. It’s not a dream machine for anyone here, but a solid upgrade that should last me a good while (Ryzen 7600x with a Radeon 7800xt). Definitely more than enough for 1440p gaming, which is plenty for me and my budget.

Bro. I spent 4k on mine last year. I play fucking games like EQ TLP's and WoW. Complete waste of money and I could have spent a 1/3rd of that and been just as happy. Congrats on you.

First time using an AIO in...like a decade? Amusing that the temps werent too far from my triple rad custom loop. It's actually fairly depressing when you think about it. Then again my current room does have higher ambient temps due to FL. Cant wait to leave and have another furnished basement.
