I'm just saying what most people are attracted to. if you can't get big companies to support Linux, most people won't give af about it.
For components you most cherish (GPU & SSD) - it will with Zen 2 CPUs.I heard B550 won't support PCI-E 4.0 tho?
It's not clear yet. Also, B550 boards are still months away. Last rumour I heard was that they'd be displayed at Computex in June - possibly weeks to months before you can actually buy one.I heard B550 won't support PCI-E 4.0 tho?
Anyone know the best VR unit for games on PC? I know @Sardukhar plays VR. What model do you use? Oculus and Vive seem to be the industry standards.
Out of curiosity, how have the drivers behaved? I've been on the fence about upgrading but skipped it this cycle. A lot of the sales I was seeing felt like walking into a furniture store to buy a couch or shopping for a bed. It's on sale, 20-30% off, get it while it's hot. A bit of time passes by and it's no longer on sale but at or close to the same price. Interesting....
Rants aside, I've been leaning toward team red (quite heavily, in fact). I can't handle another 9900k refresh. I've been apprehensive about the GPU side of the coin because I've heard horror stories about driver functioning, or lack thereof, over the years. I'm just curious if there is any real cause for concern there with the newer cards. And yes, unfortunately I am asking in the context of the data collecting, point and click OS.
God damn it, @metalmaniac21 , now when I started to investigate my current config I decided that I need a new mobo+CPU combo
I'm still undecided: should I go for i9-9900KS or Ryzen 9 3900X. I have bad experience with AMD CPU's, but it was ages ago and perhaps now they are better. I know that this Intel supports DDR4-2666, but I would prefer to use my current 32 GB DDR4-2133, to not increase costs too much. Also, I hope that my Dark Power Pro P11 650W will be able to pick up the i9 (or Ryzen 9) load.
I took my non XT 5700 back,because of the driver issues. If you look around online,Hardware Unboxed/Gamers Nexus,etc, comments section and elsewhere, u will see similar gripes,by longtime AMD fans(of which I am one). Navi is a really great piece of engineering plagued by horrible drivers.

A 3900X although amazing for the scratch,is beyond overkill for any game,including 2077. A 3600 or 3700X will be more then enough to drive a 2070 and faster,to 99% GPU utilization in modern games. I have several systems at home ,one a 3600x/2080 Super and a 3700X/2080 TI,no need for more CPU grunt to drive these cards.Seriously,unless you are doing 3d animation, automotive design,etc. Save the cash or get a faster GPU.
Inb4 this rumored high-end gpu will not be RDNA 2 one but the same one with boost in clock speed and CU count.Looks like AMD are using more lessons from Zen design in RDNA 2: https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd-rdna-2-gpu-zen

I use Vive Pro. Graphics is more or less okay (better than original Vive. No more problems with reading texts in VR games). As Sardukhar already said, Index controllers are quite intriguing. I'm gonna try them soon.Anyone know the best VR unit for games on PC? I know @Sardukhar plays VR. What model do you use? Oculus and Vive seem to be the industry standards.
