intel is better for gaming at all price points

Ryzen is cheap as fuck

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

My Ryzen does me good no point in upgrading

I have an i7 5th gen atm

that single core performance on ryzen is laughable

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nice always good to get tech handmedowns

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

And 32GB of RAM cuz server ^_^

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

Also dude yes, passthrough is awesome

32GB homies ❤

FX 8350 😄 they still exist? haha

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

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

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

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.

😂 I remember those day s

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

Games appearing entirely black not coming on lol

No like, not "no video" black,

like, whole machine hard powers off instantly black

They still got for a decent price the 8530s

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

Gives a whole new meaning to its black edition

WHICH FUCKING SUCKS BECAUSE I LOVE FC5

<:thinkcide2:462282425486147585>

Just get a ryzen 5 2600

Plays everything like a dream

I probably will go ryzen when I do upgrade

O

fuck intel I'd never go back to it

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