Not me saying it;s garbage but other users.now that all my questions have been answered, time to dump all my opinions!
I'm no expert on the guy, I've only watched 2 or 3 of his videos. I found he comes to his conclusion first and then looks for facts to support it. He also looks to stretch out his videos to 20minutes using fluff, similar to tech jesus, in order to maximize his ad profit so it's a bit painful to watch the entire length of their videos. I also recall an air vs AIO cooler comparison he did years ago which he totally bashed air that it could do no right while AIO could do no wrong. I get he's an AIO or water cooling guy, it's his shtick, but his take was purely to get views and more inline with fanboy type comments. That's my two cents on him.
ok, you only get DLSS from Nvidia and not all Nvidia cards (in fact a minority of gamers have RTX cards). On a list of things gamers want to optimize, it's probably down near the bottom.
well...it doesn't hurt but lets not forget Intel and Nvidia have huge market shares so it would be foolish not make sure your games don't play nice with them and from what I read from developers; Nviida is easier to work with than AMD as a company. You can have an issue with something and get Nvidia on the line and they work with you to fix it. They said AMD is helpful and will get back to you just not as helpful as Nvidia. Perhaps that's no longer true but like I said, Ive read it a few times from various developers.
You said TPU said it was "just as good" so how can it than be "garbage"?
That is Tom's opinion. and I would rather save the money and get the 7900X3D over the 7950X3D and that was exactly what I did, saved me over $200 too but that is not the point. I wanted a chip that was faster and more capable than my 5800X3D and no longer wanted to be on 8 cores so it checked both boxes. Now I can push my 4K panel to the max without having to use 1440P to get high frame rates. I also have issues with dedicated Gamers don't buy $599 CPUs when a lot of those reviewers like to use 13900k CPUs which are $789 CAD.AMD has horrible DLSS support mainly because it's Nvidia tech. I've not heard of any professional reviews about AMD stutter
Tom's did with the tagline of
"Where there's smoke, there isn't always fire. "
their conclusion
However, much like we saw with the Ryzen 9 7900X, the 7900X3D's pricing is the fly in the ointment. It might also be why AMD didn't sample this chip to the press. Most dedicated gamers aren’t interested in a $599 processor for gaming only, and we certainly don't recommend spending this much if that's your only goal. Instead, you should wait for the eight-core $449 Ryzen 7 7800X3D that will likely offer nearly the same amount of gaming performance when it arrives in April.
Given that the Ryzen 9 7900X3D is designed to be really good at one thing, gaming, while accepting trade-offs in others, it has to excel in such a way that other options aren't worthy of consideration. The Ryzen 9 7900X3D doesn't quite meet that bar and has tremendous pressure from both lower- and higher-end Ryzen models, like the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, while also facing value competition from Intel's chips, leaving little room for success at its current pricing. We expect this chip to see big price reductions over the coming months, but until then, it's better to seek other alternatives.
Yes you are right it is The Love of Money I apologize.if tabascosauz can give me some leeway with this
the actual line is "For the love of money is the root of all of evil" so it's not that money is evil but rather someone's obsession of acquiring it but here is better non religious line for you, "one man’s rubbish may be another’s treasure". So just because something is overlooked or called "garbage" by a few people who's opinion you really don't care about doesn't mean it can't do the job quite well for you.
