I just looked at that site, and it's probably even worse than userbenchmark, which is saying something. I doubt even they would try to claim that the 7700X is a better gaming CPU than the 7800X3D lmao The 5700u is fine for teleconferencing though.

Mr. Neutron posted:According to that site the 7800x3d is the 14th best gaming CPU at the moment while literally every single youtube video I've watched claims it's the best by far. i was only looking at it as a cheatsheet for encoding support. i never even looked at any of the performance benchmarks they use. my bad. i should have checked that site more instead of just using one of the first hits from my google search on what encoders that specific cpu supported.

quote:Which CPU is best suited for computer games? We'll give you the answer in our up-to-date leaderboard. With a gaming CPU, the clock frequency, the intermediate memory (cache) and of course the number of CPU cores and the CPU architecture are particularly important. We tested the following processors in the Geekbench 5 multi-core benchmark, but the popularity of each processor is also included in this list. Let me translate: "We used a non gaming benchmark then arbitrarily shuffled those results."

Isn't all of this a difference between the highest average framerate vs tail latency 99th percentile or higher worst frame times? The Intel chips have insanely high clocks and often do put up the highest average framerates, but people tend to care about the worst frame and not the average frame given that "average" performance is good enough across most recent CPUs.

Moving from the US to the EU. I believe all hardware is compatible (with the possible exception of the power supply, but it's 2024, so I'd be stunned if I managed to purchase something that both didn't automatically handle voltage and didn't have one of those little red buttons I vividly remember) I don't live near a MicroCenter, but I'll be visiting family 20 miles from one the week before I move. There's no reason not to take advantage, right? No trouble with using hardware from the wrong continent?

You'll want an Intel based NUC as QSV does support it, and is generally much higher quality anyway. AMD is currently last place for hardware encode quality. I know 8 cores is gonna be enough to software encode decently, but it's very wasteful and almost all software is going to default to hardware.

You'll want an Intel based NUC as QSV does support it, and is generally much higher quality anyway. For clarity, we have been doing this: Sony A6000->HDMI->[USB-Capture-Device(Elgato Cam Link 4K)]->PC (Video coming from the camera via HDMI should be unencoded.) quote:I know 8 cores is gonna be enough to software encode decently, but it's very wasteful and almost all software is going to default to hardware. Do you mean "wasteful" of electrical energy, or philosophically?  (Please note that the computer in question costs $274). Is it possible you meant to write "hardware decoder" instead of "hardware encoder"? My understanding is that Chrome webrtc and native-desktop Zoom currently use h264, and that this Ryzen CPU should be able to encode h264 at a quality that meets or exceeds QuickSync h264 encoding at 1920x1080:30fps.

If it is full range and can do 240v, which is really common now, then you just need a power cable with the right plug on the other end. Of course the only other thing is warranty on your hardware. Not easy to drive back to MicroCenter when you have an issue, so it may be worth checking everything works before taking it abroad.

I’m assuming that if the mobo needs to be replaced we just swap the 5700x3d with a 5600 and a board and it’ll be roughly the same price, eh?

If he's using Windows he can open the System Information menu (just search "System Information" from Start) and it'll have the BaseBoard Manufacturer, Product, and Version listed.

Budget builders: Newegg has an RX 6800 for $350 (360 minus 10 with code NEPLSDS794) which is a stellar deal for a budget 1440p / gratuitous 1080p card

Could use ideas for a good air cooler for a Ryzen 7800x3d…I’m trying to avoid liquid cooling unless it’s just absolutely necessary. Thermals/noise prioritized over cost savings!

I just got a frost commander 140 for my system which is also $35 on Amazon and has a 140mm fan. I think it performs ever so slightly better than the above.
