if you're intending to do any actual work the CPU you buy will have at least 6 cores/12 threads so there's no choice to make between single and multi-core CPUs I've got a 10900k and a 5950x on the desk in front of me and in practical terms there's sod all difference between them unless you're doing something intensive and…
I am trying to find out which gfx card I should purchase if I am using it for 3d modeling in both games and film. I I was told by sales team from both Nvidia and HP to buy Quadro as it is used by professionals in the industry who model in 3d and gforce is for gamers who only play games but don't make them. I was told by…
That gap has closed though AMD’s Zen 3 CPUs are here—we test the blistering-fast 5900X and 5950X | Ars Technica Intel are still competitive at single core performance but if you want the best desktop CPU these days it's likely going to be a Ryzen which nets you good single and multi core performance. All hardware is a bit…
The thing is, all CPUs themselves are capable for both multi- and single-threaded tasks, lol. But seriously, Intel usually has better single-core/single-thread max performance clock speeds than AMD's counterparts. AMD's CPUs are still recommended for creative work, due to their better multi-threaded performance.
I'm looking at mag x570 tomahawk wifi (amd am4) ddr4 x570 atx motherboard as it comes with the pc they sell in novatech. I am overthinking; i usually use macs and just plug and play, and never had to think about building my own PC. I just spoke to the sales guy and he recommends 3090 graphics card because of the vram and…
I agree with what poopipe and Commisaur said. Future proofing is a myth. Generational leaps are where most of your performance comes from. Just compare similar models from 2 generations apart and you'll see how big these improvements are. When you've got your CPU/RAM you'll likely not upgrade these for many years, but your…
yeah ill see what i can afford, the 3090 does look more attractive in price compared to the 3080ti, and they obviously did that on purpose. I am looking at Novatech as they build custom machines and I can get the VAT off. I could build it and i am still weighing up the costs and availability of parts to see which route is…
Motherboards don't lock you in to CPU cores, they lock you in to Chipsets. AMD and intel have different chipsets, they update them every so often hence the need for new motherboards. Basically you're just looking to use the same chipset, AM4 is Ryzen's chipset at the moment, any motherboard that supports AM4 will support…
