Given the still ongoing problems with AMD GPUs in WoW, i would not recommend getting one even if the value is better😉

Video driver crash in World of Warcraft with AMD video cards (7900 XTX) on DirectX 12

Tip for Blizzard. NVIDIA shaders do not work on AMD gpu’s. The same aplies to AMD shaders not working on NVIDIA gpu’s I used to have this bug in shadowlands which was main reason i switched AMD The solution was to clear shader cache every time on startup or use dx11 This is also still an issue Let me also speak from experience that in sons of the forest devs contacted me to figure out what caused gpu driver time outs in specific area with rivers, it ended up being water shader c…

Just for context the video linked in my response is a glitch that been happening since BFA on NVIDIA gpu’s with dx12 unless you clear shader cache before startup, i would rather avoid this game right now and not make decision based on this game, cos its gonna get worse as long Blizzard ignores their problems.

AMD having issues with their drivers or graphical issues on rdna3
while NVIDIA has their melting 16 pin, buying an gpu from current gen i would not even consider worth it may be better off buying used for cheap if neccesary or if its just wow just quit wow, cos its probably just wow anyway.

The shadow flickering has been fixed since DF prepatch at least.

Not really an issue if you use proper cables and make sure the pins are fully plugged in.

That’s your opinion. I am enjoying the game, but then again, i’m team green

That flickering issue has existed since bfa and come back every single expansion and is the ultimate proof game has shader issues

It says DDR4 RAM, this is outdated garbage for a 14k CPU.
You need to get DDR5 and also swap out the motherboard for a DDR5 one.

There is no such thing as DDR4 being outdated. Especially when 5800X3D/5700X3D still going very strong vs the current generation from AMD and Intel.

Still, other specs like the GPU and SSD are low.

@Aimjinx-blackhand

-the 7800X3D is THE best gaming CPU overall atm (also best for WoW)

-i chose the cheapest 4070 Super because it is so very efficient that the extra cooling doesn’t matter on more expensive models

If it fits the budget then it will be excellent

Ok let me rephrase it for you:
It is stupid to buy a DDR4 Motherboard for a 12K CPU if you can get DDR5 instead

We are talking strictly Intel here but i just want to add that the X3D CPUs are not that RAM sensitive as the non X3D or the Intels.

And yes i love my 5800X3D but if i were to buy new now, i would go for AM5 with a 7800X3D or 7600 for budget to have a upgrading path

For 12400F or even some K SKUs? Not really as it’s a value option, not future/best performance at higher prices. If someone goes for top K models then maybe but at that point we have newer Intel generations. Like if you aren’t going for top cooling, top motherboard to handle an OC K-series CPU then something is wrong

And when it comes to AMD if someone doesn’t need a new PC “now” then it’s probably best to wait for Zen 5 which is a bigger change and 9800X3D will probably be on a completely new level.
