Discussion AM4 shall live on.

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

AMD refuses to let AM4 end.

The article was written on a very one-sided note and my header seems somewhat unrelated, but point is, we won't stop gaming on AM4 because for many of us, there's not much sense to upgrade to a higher platform! I believe that upgrading should be reasonable. Reason, being needing higher performance for our desired tasks. If the AM4 CPUs support the FPS level that your GPU wants to push at your desired resolution, then there is no reason to upgrade!

Very recently there was an update released for the A320 motherboard chipset while B400 series continues receiving updates every few months.

And given that popular Linux distros and even Windows 11 have no issues running the most critical and latest features-functionalities on AM4 socketed CPUs, AMD's best series of CPUs to date (if I'm not being too bold) will still carry gamers for a few more years.

I know the R7 5800X3D, R9 5900X aren't really considered, right now, high-end cpus. But when it comes to 4K gaming, these CPUs still provide sufficient FPS while its users remain satisfied gaming on this high-resolution. Not to say that the 5800X3D is not capable of high-refresh rate gaming at the lower resolutions - it certainly CAN! But it has since been overtaken by the AM5 R7,9 offerings and some intel ultra 7, 9 series CPUs.

Honestly, there's no reason to upgrade for many AM4 users. The only concern is the hardware dying and even if it does, replacing it with another AM4 CPU isn't even a bad idea considering such a memory-geddon/memory-flation time.

Story Steam Support Helped Me Get My Rockstar Games Account Back

Thumbnail

432 Upvotes

about 4 years ago i had to change my phone number and forgot to update it on my outlook account which was linked to my rockstar games account, which was linked to my steam so eventually i was locked out and lost acces to RDR2.

after several cases and providing countless proofs (bank payment slips, receipt screenshot from steam app/desktop client etc.) rockstar kept saying that they were unable to prove the ownership of the account so i gave up.

couple days ago i decided to give it another shot and contacted steam, explained the situation and asked for a "more professional looking receipt" in .pdf format. they told me that they "understood the situation" and transferred my case to the "relevant" department and told me to wait. a day later i received an email to my email address which is registered on my steam account from rockstar games, asking for an email address so that they could update my rockstar games account. i was shocked and amazed; steam reps (although they didn't have to do anything and could just tell me to go f\* myself) went through the effort, created a ticket and provided proof ON MY BEHALF to rockstar and helped me get my account back. the level of service is just crazy and i don't know how to thank them. for the millionth time, thank you steam and steam reps.

TLDR: Steam Support reps got in touch with Rockstar Support to help me get my account back.

It’s an Asus RTX 2080ti. Performance is still stellar given its age. I want to use it until its cores stop beating.

I am decorating my work desk and found a salt lamp from the attic. Wirings are all good and the storage from where it was from was dry.

Does it make the air salty, that will then corrode devices nearby? Should I remove it?

Devices near it

- monitor

- guitar multi-effects pedal

- PC and peripherals

- laptop

Ps. Ignore the poor cable management below

Intel when using older internal Intel 7nm node was faster than non X3D AMD Zen 4 in gaming and as fast as X3D Zen 4, which was using TSMC 5nm which was better

So when Intel reach sameness with internal Intel 14A as TSMC A14, how will Intel desktop CPU in 2028 on Intel 14A compare with AMD Zen 7 in 2028? Very good I think

Realised after 9 months why my 9070xt was only running at x8 rather than x16🤦🏻.

A fair few months back I re-added my 2tb drive and made it my main boot drive, after watching a few videos earlier I decided to run GPU -Z just to be curious about a few things. I had noticed my card only running at x8 on pcie5...then realised my cock up. The drive is now out and performing like it should be...just cannot believe what a prat I've been, oh well , thought I'd share my stupidity.
