intel is better for gaming at all price points

2019-09-13 18:04:20 UTC  

Ryzen is cheap as fuck

2019-09-13 18:04:24 UTC  

I thought I was SOL cuz the Rift S doesn't work with ASmedia USB 3.0 ports, and of course I have an ASmedia mainboard

2019-09-13 18:04:36 UTC  

My Ryzen does me good no point in upgrading

2019-09-13 18:04:42 UTC  

I have an i7 5th gen atm

2019-09-13 18:04:49 UTC  

that single core performance on ryzen is laughable

2019-09-13 18:04:58 UTC  

Yeah I had that issue at first I had to use my case USBs

2019-09-13 18:05:20 UTC  

Ended up just buying a PCI USB 3.1 card for like $30 at my local Fry's

2019-09-13 18:05:59 UTC  

SSee my motherboard is like first gen x99, but its still good for now 🤔

2019-09-13 18:06:18 UTC  

I want to get a new one eventually for the 2 m.2 slots for SSD sticks tbh

2019-09-13 18:06:58 UTC  

I'm lucky enough to work in a place where I'm 3rd in the pecking order for who gets the old hardware, and the two people above me are gen x'ers who don't want to work on hardware

2019-09-13 18:07:02 UTC  

The S is great because you can set it to camera mode and see your surroundings with the headset on

2019-09-13 18:07:32 UTC  

So I ended up lucking into a seriously nice former-server rig that I just had to drop new storage and a GPU into

2019-09-13 18:07:44 UTC  

Nice always good to get tech handmedowns

2019-09-13 18:08:18 UTC  

replaced the PSU too cuz it was cheap and dying but I'm still running an FX 8350 8 core @ 4.3

2019-09-13 18:08:30 UTC  

And 32GB of RAM cuz server ^_^

2019-09-13 18:08:38 UTC  

Once the ram turns up tomorrow <:Snakegasm:533665229280903196>

2019-09-13 18:08:40 UTC  

Also dude yes, passthrough is awesome

2019-09-13 18:08:49 UTC  

32GB homies ❤

2019-09-13 18:09:23 UTC  

FX 8350 😄 they still exist? haha

2019-09-13 18:09:38 UTC  

lol right? I have some issues every now and then but she still runs like a fucking champ

2019-09-13 18:09:50 UTC  

I know it's gonna be my bottleneck in the next couple years

2019-09-13 18:10:10 UTC  

Yeah should be alright for another year or so. Ryzen is cheap as fuck though so upgrading wont be too much hassle for you

2019-09-13 18:10:26 UTC  

FC5 had an update early this year that makes my entire system tank to black, not even BSOD. Just dumps power entirely and hard shutdown.

2019-09-13 18:10:44 UTC  

😂 I remember those day s

2019-09-13 18:10:56 UTC  

Only other people I've seen have the issue are also running the 8350

2019-09-13 18:11:01 UTC  

Games appearing entirely black not coming on lol

2019-09-13 18:11:14 UTC  

No like, not "no video" black,

2019-09-13 18:11:22 UTC  

like, whole machine hard powers off instantly black

2019-09-13 18:11:31 UTC  

They still got for a decent price the 8530s

2019-09-13 18:11:33 UTC  

Never seen it before in almost a decade of doing IT work

2019-09-13 18:11:45 UTC  

Gives a whole new meaning to its black edition

2019-09-13 18:11:50 UTC  

WHICH FUCKING SUCKS BECAUSE I LOVE FC5

2019-09-13 18:12:10 UTC  

Just get a ryzen 5 2600

2019-09-13 18:12:17 UTC  

Plays everything like a dream

2019-09-13 18:12:31 UTC  

I probably will go ryzen when I do upgrade

2019-09-13 18:12:31 UTC  

O

2019-09-13 18:12:43 UTC  

fuck intel I'd never go back to it

2019-09-13 18:12:49 UTC  

I'm considering just saying fuck it and doing a whole new build from the ground up except for my GPU
