Hi. Will you get for the same price; A) z490 maximus xii extreme. B) z590 maximus xiii hero. To use with a 10900k (11900k in the future), Samsung pro 980 (pcie 4) and RTX 3090. I'm not sure if the ssd will use the 4xpcie 4 lines of rocket lake. It's confirmed that the GPU will use the 16...

I guess it will be like this. I only haven't found an of my games where and was a bit faster. I think I'll return the amd and get the Rocket Lake for future proof with pcie 4. I thought I was already done getting amd who already has pcie 4 and also many more cores but...having the two systems...

In paper and for what I read yes. But testing yourself is the best thing you can do. I re-run the test many times with all options and results are steady. But there is a way with the savegames and exact locations and scenes that clearly indicates this small diference. Might be intel better...

Here it is the pictures I took from the scores with horizon. Again the 5800x is better than 5900x but 87000k comes on top. From all the savegames I load and test I get the same results of being 3-5 fps less. I have been trying for days to get the same fps as with the 8700k. Memory tuning...

For example I attach here the Valhalla benchmark with the systems. The one that doesn't have the CPU detail is the 5900x. The 5800x gives a little better results overall than the 5900x. But neither of them gets to the 8700k@ghz. Apart of benchmarks I use the method of load a save game and wait...

I have done it in a fresh installed windows 10. It's actually the second time I try it. The first time was with a 5800x. Tried with stock, overclocking the single core and also all core overclock. It shouldn't matter much at 4k but I have the benchmarks of this games (the ones that have built...

I have been trying different configurations and overclocks to test in different games and compare with my 8700@5ghz and z370 motherboard. Horizon zero dawn, Assassins Creed Valhalla, someday you'll return (unreal engine), red dead redemption 2, shadow tomb raider,... All of them have different...

Yes i think I'm going to return everything until something better comes along. My 8700k still rocks for a little bit more as I only game.

That's what I want but I have both systems right now and at 4k (I don't test 1080p cause I don't use it) I get a few fps more with the old system. And the 8700k I'd quite old. I have been trying the last few days everything because the 5900x crashes in everything the 8700k@5ghz I don't...

What about intel getting a optimal ram for the 10900k? 3800mhz is good for 5900x and its infinity fabric but the 10900k could get much more speed ram. I'm using a x570 dark hero motherboard with a 5900x and g.skill 32gb 3800 cl14 and it's going slightly slower than my 8700k@5ghz with a z370-e...

Hi. I'm doing re-paste into my 3090 Strix and I have a problem with the thickness of the thermal pads for the Vram. I have Thermalright Odyssey thermal pads (12.8w/mk) of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5mm. I haven't made to the gpu yet but the back plate I think the 1.5mm doesn't put enough preasure and I...

Hi. I have a z370-e Strix with 8700k and I'm ready to upgrade. I won't get amd ryzen 5000. I already tried and I want to focus in intel. I mainly game at 4k 120fps. I use a rtx 3090 Strix. The z570 motherboards are rumored to launch January 11th with pcie 4.0. It's a future proof for SSD and...

Hi. After one post and a lot of research I have two kits that I have to decide for z490 apex mobo and 10900k @5.2ghz. All of them are samsung b-die. One kit is dual ranked (2x16gb). 1) Gskill Trident Z rgb. 2x16gb dual rank, 4266mhz, 17-18-18-38, 1.5v. F4-4266C17D-32GTZRB 2) G.Skill Trident...

Thank you both. I can't find the modules I have anymore. I looked everywhere so I could have four of them. I guess 2x16gb will be best to tune than 4x8gb. The only question is the performance difference of my kits now vs 2x16gb (considering the same clocks and speed).

Hi. I have been reading a lot about single and dual rank and I'm finding confusing to decide what ram to get for my motherboard and to play at 4k in games. Asus crossfire viii dark hero x570. 5950x. Asus Strix 3090 oc. 2160p-120hz monitor. I have right now a good ram kit of G.skill trident...
