Done playing with this stuff and I seriously need the money for more useful things.
ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero: €300 (I am very certain I have the box for this board since it's the C8DH out of my VR rig)
AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition: €250 (comes with Heatkiller waterblock and stock...
Holy shit, I finally acquired a Radeon VII, and for a not-retarded price too.
Hardest part will be to find a waterblock that doesn't cost 90% of what I paid for the card lol
PTM7950 on the Bykski block works just fine, I'll just accept the fact my card's ****ed.
In other news, PPCS had two Heatkiller R9 Fury X blocks in stock which I ordered. Bare copper but meh, $80 for both? sure.
X299 CPUs still go for retarded prices unfortunately :( I'm after a 9th or 10th gen 2066 CPU with more than 10 cores but I sure as shit am not paying 7950X3D prices for CPUs that get curbstomped by a 14900K.
Well since Aquatuning had a 20% off Alphacool products sale, I bought their 6900 XT Toxic block. Hope it'll perform better than the pretty meh Bykski block I have.
Hah, the only thing I care about is FPS. Thus far, the 5700 XT curbstomps the Vega FE, even with it running at ~1.7 GHz.
Next step: trying to find a sanely priced Radeon VII.
5700 XT received. Wow, i'm surprised how much faster it is compared to the Vega FE. Really shows how garbage GCN is for gaming tasks.
Also scales like ass with voltage :( stupid thing scales worse than the R9 Fury X.
Great, Caseking had Koolance QD3s in stock. Ordered those, a fan grille for my MoRA3 and a extra fill bottle so I don't cross-contaminate my loops. (different coolants in the bench rig and main rig)
Oh and earlier today I bought a 5700 XT Nitro+ with a waterblock. RDNA1 HARDWARE BUGS WOOOOOOOO
VR in general is meh to me. Then again I'm a literal sub-80 IQ retard that hates socializing unless I share a common interest with someone.
Also the reason I quit VR is that the only thing I do in VRChat is this:
Yes, me staring at the fireplace in The Roost of The Great Pug. And yes, for the...
