  1. I just got the Arc750. So far it's pretty good. There are issues with HDR on some titles and youtube specifically (no hdr at 1080hd, it just frazzles the whole window, esp fullscreen). The driver updates have been noticeable improvements. I've played a few games and I don't notice any issues, everything is set to high. 12900k, 32 gb ddr5, 2tb ssd. Games run better at higher settings. Prior to the last update it would throw up a warning that it may not work but I didn't notice last night. The warning was boilerplate and did not ring true.

  2. A used AMD 5700XT can be had for $130 right now and it beats the $350-$400 RTX3060 by a country mile. The used GPU market is a buyer's fantasy land right now. Great video!

  6. Great video mate, makes me want to consider AMD rather than Nvidea….much better value (not often you hear that about GPUs!)

    Small request, could you do a similar video about motherboards….I just can't get my head around which ones are best suited for which tech and what to look out for!

  7. this is CPU vs GPU the GPU is defiantly winning and the cpu just gets better for the amount cores you’ll need, Yes that’s right.

    because you are the Core and The Graphics of our Businesses for others, also it’s about that good, Hardware And Software’s

  8. Rtx 4070Ti is not a future proof GPU due to its Memory. Hogwarts game have saw the future of gaming and how thirsty shall be the games since it uses all memory of cards such as 4080,4090 so it is clearly that either you go to 4080 or at XTX card for less money without DLSS tech. Also there are leaks for upcoming RTX 4070 with bigger memory than RTX 4070TI and for sure with less cost. In that case we wait a little more.

  9. what is a better choice. i5 13600kf + 6700xt. or i5 12400f + rx 6800 non xt / 3070ti. The second option is a bit cheaper by my calculations but not by much.

    The core question is whether to have an overkill (but future proof) cpu now and upgrade gpu 4-5 years down the line or to have a better gpu and upgrade the cpu later.

  10. Another amazing video!!!
    This is great one for everyone who's looking for a new GPU and also looking to understand more about which GPU to get.
    Well done again 🙂

    I love the advice about knowing about which games you want to play, your monitor and then your budget…
    It's so important… for me, since my monitor is 32 inch 4k (the MSI one from the sponsor hehehe), I knew I wanted to play 4k games and most of my games are AAA… So I've decided to go with 4080 (for all the RT, DLSS3, etc.).

  12. Despite the controversy at its launch I’ve been running a 4070ti with a 13700k and it is a fantastic card. I’ve been mostly playing on an ultrawide 3440×1440 and some on a 4K tv and it is really
    Impressive for the price (compared to current GPU market) obviously still too expensive but at this point I think it’s the best value for a higher end card

  14. If anyone is like me wondering what it's like to go from a weak older card to a current gen high end card, I can personally recommend dropping 20 bucks and get an Nvidia GeForce Now Ultimate subscription. As long as you have the bandwidth it works really well. Do your research, not all games are supported, but for 20 bucks you can avoid some buyers remorse. I'm doing that for right now until the current market settles in after all the lower tier AMD and Nvidia cards hit market and prices normalize. At 20/mo I'd pay less over 5 years than a RTX4080 costs and they upgrade GeForce Now periodically so it's not like you're stuck with the same performance for 5 years.

  21. Really useful this one Marcus – thank you! I've just built my first PC and am running it on the IGPU while I get some funds together for the card, so this was a great consideration piece for the options I'm looking at currently!

  22. My budget is £500 max for a "good" 2-yr usable card, so that's that. In 20 series days, that would get you a good card. In 30 series days, you'd still get a good card if you could find one at MSRP 🤣. Nvidia won't get more than that from me no matter what, so if there's nothing available for that I won't be buying. If they think I'm spending £1k every year or two for their cards, they can go do one.

  23. I totally understand Europe and Aus have weird GPU markets, but in the states the 7900xt and the 4070ti are both $799 as of writing, and while they trade blows with each other now, in the (very) near future that 10gb of VRAM difference is going to become very noticeable. When I got my 3080 10gb I was like, "yea this things a beast. i wont need to upgrade ever" then literally one generation later look where we are. There's a 20-30% delta between a 10gb vs 12gb 3080. I do not think it's wise to spend 800 dollars on something that may end up getting outclasses with driver updates.

  25. Rtx 4090 Founder Edition Imo most beautiful GPU ever made and also perform very well. Pricey but if You can afford I would never gone for any other model then FE. Decent Video as usual.

  28. Ps. Sir Centric – I think you hit the nail squarely concerning 1080P mate! If you want to play any game, 30 series cards will give you all the beans you'll need at 1080. 1440P is great, and can be dialled down to 1080 to suit the game when higher fps is required. 4k is not mainstream, it's for those with cash to splash, so USD2k cards will be small beer to them anyway. Point is, we can play all the best titles at 1080 with great fps on lower spec cards and have all the same fun and success, just without the highest cinema quality imagery we're told we need 😁.

  30. I upgraded from a 6700 and 1650 to an 11400f and 3060ti in November last year and gaddamn!! So 3060Ti gang assemble below!😁😁

  31. I'm from the era before 3Dfx Voodoo when 640×480 and 15 fps was considered "playable". When you play games at those frame rates, your brain actually fills in the gaps and after awhile you don't even see the stuttering.
    So for me 1080p and 30fps is fine, 60 fps feels almost like overkill and anything above that seems totally insane.
    So 1070Ti is more than enough, thank you. You could buy a car with the price of those 3090:s.. again insane from my perspective.

  33. I don't game nearly as much as I used to but want to get a new GPU. I'm still kickin' it with a 1070 Ti and it still gets the job done but I think it's time to get a new one. I don't have or need 4K. my monitors are just standard 1080p Dells that I have had for a while now. I have always been team green so I keep trying to convince myself to stay with them….but I refuse to pay over $500 for a GPU. My 1070 Ti cost me around $450. I also probably need to update the whole thing at this point as my current mb/cpu will be a bottleneck due to it's age and not PCIe 4. Any suggestions for me? Anyway I look at it I am going to need MB/CPU/GPU/RAM…ugh….I need a whole new build actually now that I think about it. Never mind…nothing to see here. 🙂

  36. I was looking at getting a cpu from intel i7 13700 kf, motherboard asus prime z790 a, gpu Radeon rx 7900 xtx. Corsair 1000 watt gold and ddr5 32gb 2 stick 56000. Would this work for 4K gaming? I play all genres of games from large scale strategy like stellaris, competitive shooters like Apex and looters like borderlands. Thank you 🙏🏼 looking at 2,500 on new egg trying to keep under 3k
