Finally upgraded my case and GPU. Picked up a FormD T1 SFF case and an Asus ProArt 4080 Super. Obviously, my system is extremely bottlenecked by the 5600X CPU now, but I'm trying to hold off upgrading CPU until the 9000X3D processors are available in a few months. I'm curious if upgrading to one of the AMD X3D processors will get rid of the micro stutters, or do you folks with the 7800X3D / 4080 combo still experience them? FPS are great otherwise. Perhaps it's worth picking up a 5800X3D to replace my 5600X for the next ~6 months? Can't figure out how to insert images in the post, but feel free to check out: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sx0pzoqab969u765k5rkb/FormD-T1-GPU.jpg?rlkey=ijcu825xhj4qqojds7vbnyy7n&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8tkmhj4aybbuxugfb7jm/FormD-T1-Motherboard.jpg?rlkey=12epcyn72etvgogrk4soiafnf&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gowgeixu2enver4ly3jb1/Screenshot-2024-08-22-140309.png?rlkey=fk1hyp2sq9iaak0gxaidwuj42&dl=0

Printers?
cmeeks replied to Dougal's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
I'm on the fence on this one recently. In the past I've been a strong supporter of owning a black/white laser printer at home and leaving the photo printing to a professional camera shop. Now that my wife and I are both out of school and much less reliant on the printer for printing reams at a time, I really wouldn't mind having a do-it-all multi-function color laser. With that said, I can't speak highly enough of Samsung. Partially because HP ticked me off with their refusal to provide W7 drivers for their ubiquitous 1012 series laser printers, but more so because my wife and I had an ML-1851ND through grad school and it has been and continues to be completely flawless! At the end of the day, take your best photos to a professional to be printed. I mean a real professional - not Walgreens or CVS. You will be thrilled with the quality! -

GTX 680 News

I agree with ALL of the comments above, but I'm not 100% sure whether or not these new cards will actually run cooler. While the performance per watt may be better, the # of stream processors is three times that of the 580. I haven't been doing much FSX recently as I finished school and became a real person, so I'm content to hold on to this GTS250 for some time yet. I had originally planned to pick up a really nice card this year, but I'm preparing to buy a new bike, so that's not going to be happening. I'll be happy to get a GTX560 equivalent.Nice sunglasses, Stephen! -
Ben, you seem to forget that It's not for you to judge how others spend their money. I suppose you can, but your judgees may very well make a lot more money than you and the value of a dollar likely means something very different to them. It may not be the most efficient use of dollars, but nonetheless that doesn't always matter.
