Still using an i5 4690 with a gtx 970. The motherboard is showing its first signs of failure, randomly detects “disconnects” of my audio cables, might be time to start looking at replacements or maybe I can prolong its life with a dedicated sound card (do those still exist?).
Sound card does still exist but it is probably better to buy a new motherboard and a cpu. AMD has shown great output for very little money recent years.
In 2019 did I buy my Ryzen 3600x for 220 euro and my b450 rog strix motherboard for 110 euro. Very cheap and super efficient setup
My current PC contains a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Radeon 6900 XT. I use a 2K monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz and have all of WOW’s graphics settings turned up to the maximum.
Umm… Funny you should mention that but I think that’s actually the graphics card in my old PC that I still have lying around…
Get rdy to take off! Your RTX3050ti will struggle to keep a 4K monitor even at 60 fps in WoW. I did buy my self a 32” Samsung G5 and my RX580 did go on full fan speed all the time, it did get both loud and hot in the room
I did only run Intel from 1995 to 2019, but I have to say that I’m super impressed of AMD and their output. So much CPU for the money
Ye I think I will have to buy bigger tower next time, just to fit the GPU
