A lot to unpack here and 1.5 hours. I've flicked through a few times and keep learning things. It's a great watch to nerd out on and to have a break from the "fAkE fRaMeS" parroting on the internet. Sounds like a lot the uplift is going to be tech and architectural rather than pure shader and core counts. It's the same node as Ada and if you think of cores on a die like letters on a piece of paper, in order to get more letters you either need to decrease the font size or increase the paper size. In this case the paper size has been increased. The new DLSS models are the first major overhaul of them since they were introduced on Turing so this generation is going to lay the groundwork for future NVIDIA generations.
And this is why I've been holding off my Alan Wake 2 + DLC replay until I get my hands on one of these

Steve loves the sound of his own voice!
I do appreciate their very comprehensive motherboard round ups/comparisons though.

I won't need to buy one anyway since I'm gonna win the rtx5090 nvidia build giveaway on reddit

Their reviews are definitely comprehensive and I'll always watch them, I just have to skip whenever he starts inserting his own opinions. I refuse to take purchashing advice from anyone who gets their stuff for free. I'm sure I could make a bingo card and start with Steve crapping on price to perf as well as RT (he's a broken record at this point) and any DLSS feature. However I'm sure he'll be sticking a 5090 into his personal rig to play Fortnite at first opportunity.
Also where you been? Getting your BG3 tan?

just ran the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark on ultra settings on my current PC for the lols (been waiting since release to play it on a new PC, got gifted it this Christmas)... even with FSR turned on it tops out at around 11fps

Thanks man, and sorry for the late look at this.
Yeah looks like the 5700x3D is about the only thing I can get anyway.
Highlighted is what Id replace (coming from 5800x and 3080ti)
Also wondering whether to just get a 5080 if I can, and then staggering a new build over the next 6-12 months.

That can work too. b850 motherboards are just coming out with more options later as well as more Ryzen 9000 3d v-cache CPUs that will give you more options if you wanted to do it that way.

In terms of generations if you want to think about it that way to think up some plans, Zen 6 which I'm pretty sure will still be on AM5 is due around late 26/early 27, and next gen NVIDIA will probably be mid to late next year. 4000 series was a bit longer than usual (apparently RTX50 was originally planned for late last year) so I'm expecting this new generation to be a little shorter.

Scrolling the comments section of wccftech around major launches is pretty funny. I wish I saved more of these as I saw them but it has become my favourite gif template and the AMD and NVIDIA crowds are just using it to throw barbs at each other lol

so I got all my other parts and just built the PC. Looks empty without a GPU lol. Set up all good, starting to install everything I need. RAM set to 6000 without issues. Now I just have to pop the GPU in hoooopefully in only a couple weeks if I get one on release

I've been tempted to do the same but I do like doing it all at once. Also getting worried about launch supply too. I'll definitely build my new keyboard this weekend though.

Gotta say, I will never build in a small case again, it was great building in this one. So much pain with my previous ITX builds just for a few cm's saved on the desk. Also those 200mm fans at the front are chunky as haha

What's the case? Love black tower coolers, I so nearly did that too but stressed about RAM clearance. You got the ASRock Nova didn't you?

full list:
- Asus proart pa602 case (first time I've ever spent a bit on the case. prob a bit extra but I wanted the big quiet non-RGB fans and good quality all round with loads of room)
- ASRock x870e nova
- 9800x3d
- 64gb gskill trident neo z5 cl30 6000mhz ram
- 4+2+2tb worth of nvme
- nh-d15s cooler (it doesn't come with a second fan. Without the fan the ram can be huge like 65mm or something. I got 44mm ram, supposedly you can put a 120mm fan above the ram and it'll still fit 44 so I might try that, but read it only improves temps by 2-3 degrees haha)
- Corsair rm100x 3.1 psu

Don't know much about that case, I'll have to look it up. The price difference between an average case that you might have issues building in vs a slightly larger premium case isn't actually that much in the long run.
That's a lot of RAM. Now you can have 2 chrome tabs open! I actually bought the identical RAM, but just the 2x16 non-RGB kit. I see it has gone up in price a little too https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/memory/ddr5-desktop-memory/99784-f5-6000j3038f16gx2-tz5n
