Honestly its grear

Zen 2 is gonna be 7nm

i can't wait, 1700 gonna be here monday

finally getting off this old a8 and uh

i guess turning it into a router

IBM and Samsung have the 7nm silicon patent, Samsung has a trades deal with global foundries

grab a couple nics and slap pfsense on it

And amd owns glo fo

Dude the a8 9600 ain't half bad for old games

a8-6600k

Ahhh

How was it

was actually pretty usable for gaming when it came out, i was surprised

but it's getting a little rough aroudn the edges

Gotcha

also still kinda amazed at how much less power the new thing will use

i went ahead and grabbed a 750w psu just in case i want dual 580s down the road or soemthing but honestly 500w is kinda overkill for a 1700 and a 560

most of my computers are either super-low-power or proper servers with fkn redundant 1kw psus and such

Dual 560s = 1 and 1/3rd rx 470

Its pretty good

i will almost definitely just end up settling for dual 560s

i'm not crossfire gaming want more performance, just

i want to drive all six monitors with reasonable performance

A 470 is 5-10 percent faster then a 290

It'll be decent man

And a 470 is pretty fucking good at 1440p high

1080p maxed is a breeze for it

gonna be 5 dell 1708s and then this dell 1080p monitor i forget the model of

i love me some sxga

It'll mow thru games

not as much as qxga but sxga is comfy

You'll love it

i onl;y play old games anyway tbh

Then get a 550

It'll be all you'll need

newest game i played was newdoom, and i killed the last instance of windows on my network

so wont be playing that again soon

and newdoom ran great on the a8 and an r7 265, so if i DO wanna grab windows and play it again fkn

i don;'t expect a 1700 and a 560 to have any issues

already ordered the 560 though since it was only a $15 difference

Keep the a8 as a secondary gaymen build
