It's me again! W1ther! This thread will talk about ur computer specs! Don't worry, details about specs is oponial So, to start. My specs is (a laptop called hp victus):Ryzen 5 5600H 3,3-4,2Ghz/w Tubro 6/12 threads RTX 3050Ti 4gb gddr6 24Gb ddr4 3200 (used to 12gb ddr4 3200) 512gb nvme ssd (sk hynx) Windows 11 Best cooling but with limited upgrade and offer 144hz full hd montior (16 inch) with 2,5kg My old laptop is(Asus x571gt):i7 9750H 2,6-4,5Ghz/w Tubro 6/12 threads 16Gb ddr4 2400 (2666 in other slot and 2400 in onboard ram) gtx 1650 4gb gddr5 512gb nvme ssd (intel 660p) Windows 10 (upgraded to windows 11) This laptop have quite bad cooling soultion as it have only 2 fan and 2 pipelines, so it thorrtle most when i enter into my plot or sth like that (98c when playing with shader in minecraft) Also it's my first laptop to have full hd montior (15,6 inch) with 2,1kg My first laptop is(Dell inspiron 5567):I7-7500u 2,7-3,5Ghz/w Tubro 2/4 threads Hdd 1tb (later upgraded to ssd sata 512gb) 8gb ram Amd radeon r7 m445 2gb gddr5 Windows 10 This one is most terrible laptop, i can't do anything mostly as it lag when excess 70 mods. 1366x768 montior make me sick. Multitasking is terrible and very short battery life Weight is 2kg which it isn't deverse for performance Dead laptop (used to working laptop):i5-6200U 2,3Ghz-2,8Ghz/w Tubro 2/4 threads12gb ddr4 2133 (8gb ddr4 2667+ 4gb ddr4 2133 onboard)Nvidia Geforce 920MX256Gb kingston ssd a400 (used to wd blue 1tb hdd)Windows 10 (upgraded to windows 11)This thing is most interesting laptop since it can converse ram very good (at 6,1gb only when play mc) when compared to insane ram consume like my current laptop. Drawback is blunt 1366x768 montior make me feel sick most. I5 6200U is terrible for multi minecraft in backgrounds as well as multitaskingOld desktop:i5-4570 3,2ghz-3,6Ghz w/Tubro 4/4 threadsHdd 500GB (upgraded to 256gb ssd)6gb ram (4gb+2gb)Onboard gpu (Intel HD 4600)Kubuntu/Windows 11This desktop is a bit pain since it can only run 1 minecraft at a time, reduced fps and hard to play 1.18.xHp pavilion 14(it's a laptop!):i3 6100U 2,3Ghz (no tubro)HDD 500Gb (Upgraded to 256gb ssd)12gb ram ddr3l-1600Windows 11Nothing to say... it's tooo slowGuide: How to view system specs?Step1: press windows+r keyStep 2: type dxdiag in run box like thisThen hit enterStep 3 :Navigation to menu:Guidlines: System include ur cpu, gpu and ram Display 1 show about your igp (intel hd or amd radeon vega, sth like that) Display 2 show about your discrete graphics Site if you would like to benchmark: https://empireminecraft.com/threads/computer-benchmarking-thread.86054/
Corsair Carbide case (nothing too fancy) Ryzen 5 2600 (needs to be upgraded) MSI MECH RX 5700 XT Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4 3000MHz EVGA Supernova 750 G3 (PSU) MSI X470 motherboard Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD (this was $300 in 2017 lol) SanDisk 1TB SSD (this was $100 loll) 2x 24-inch 144Hz 1080p monitors 26-inch 165Hz 1080p monitor (These are on a three-monitor stand with the 165Hz monitor at the top) Logitech K270 (standard keyboard since I don't like gaming keyboards. I've been using this since 2015) Corsair Harpoon mouse (wireless and rechargeable, but it's a little cheap in quality) Logitech Z313 speakers Guitar Hero microphone (actually a Logitech mic that has pretty good sound quality) - My main laptop is a late 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro with the touch bar. i5-something, 256GB SSD, 8GB 2133Mhz DDR3, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 (this is only used for working with Logic Pro and Swift). The build quality is exceptional and should be the standard in the laptop industry. I would recommend trying one out in a store, even if you don't like Apple products. My other laptop is a 17-inch ASUS I-don't-even-remember-the-model Windows laptop with an i7-something and a GTX 1050. All I can say is there is so much plastic, and ASUS has cheap build quality. This cost more than my MacBook ($1,100), and it feels like my $400 laptop from 2012 with an i3 processor and integrated graphics.

Thoughts: My GPU is the current weak point. 3GB is no longer great. Prices for new AMDs are so high but a 6 or 8GB will future proof the rig for another 5-7yrs solid.Remember Moore's Law is DEAD. VERY DEAD. The 90s to mid-00s era of corp 3yr lifecycles (pushed by Dell largely) and power user/gamer rigs becoming obsolete in 2-4yrs is over. CPU/RAM has reached a high point (compared to previous gens) with haswell/FX-83xx era, and DRR3. Cores in CPUs is the new push for appeal along with TDW, for RAM they seemed to have abandoned low CAS in exchange for high MHz (remember that DDR3 on most Mobos with 64bit Win 7 Pro was 128GB, which is still impractical). So while new is great, obsolescence (when the tech becomes useless) is much longer potentially in the 7-15yr period depending on 1) usage and 2) any radical changes to base browsing/video tech in next 10yrs, which is unlikely since we're already past 4k (which isn't really useful most of the time).WHICH is why tech companies push for 'planned obsolescence' (aka new formats like GPU/RAM won't work on your current stuff to force you to buy their new CPU/Mobo, etc), which is PURELY driven by maintaining stock value for shareholders and getting ppl to buy their crap. Just my thoughts on rigs. It seems like the 'current' era post-Moore's Law the config of your rig is less bragging rights and more 'I was able to save $X'. Interesting times...
I know you said you have the devils canyon i7, but there are a couple out there. If you have the 4790k then that is the absolute best processor you can get for that socket. As for GPU, if you wanted you could go all the way to a 2080 super, but it would bottleneck the GPU quite a bit. With a 1660 super, there would still be CPU bottleneck, but not as much. If you were wanting to upgrade, I would say snag a 1050ti or a rx590.
That is kind of where I stand myself. a 8GB Rx590 would be solid and future proof for quite a while. If needed the sacrifice to run 2x for 16GB at expense of heat/electricity would be doable.
Upgraded ram to 24gb ddr4 32oo (samsung ram) 1x16 + 1x8 ram My thoughouts: -Will be quickly obsolte after 1-2 yrs if i increase insane demand and i will need a new one if it can't widithstand intensive demand -Ram can't overclocked, as well as cpu. -1 blank nvme ssd slot i will add more in near furture -ryzen 5 5600h is somewhere like i5-10400 in desktop
Seems it's great spec for old games and minecraft only. even rtx 3050ti with 4gb vram is quickly obsolte with new games's demand You can replace gpu with rtx 3050 for better speed but rtx 3060 is not recommded since it will bottleneck unclocked devil canyon cpu version Rtx 2080? it will bottleneck a bit If u overclock it to 5ghz or 5,2ghz at all core, you can run rtx 3060 without bottleneck
They can't upgrade to the 3000 series because they are PCI 4.0 cards and their motherboard only supports 3.0. The newest card they could get is a 2000 series
I don't really know what to do with all of the detailed specs, so I keep it at this. I use a laptop with 8 GB and an i5 that is from 2021, and a desktop with 16 GB and an i7 that is from 2015. Both have an SSD. I also use an Atari STE, I think it has 2 MB RAM but it might be 1. In my laptop I have an integrated graphics card, I think, in my desktop I have none. There was a bad one in there and then a good one, but the connection of the good one got faulty because of excessive weight and we took it out.
How about this? It still able to run, but bottleneck happen at pcie3 and they use lower banwidith to suite pcie3. This happen same if u tries to put gtx 1080 into pcie 2 motherboard like core2 quad Q6600 (mainboard refernce)
you are correct, I was mistaken. you can use it because it is backwards compatible. I was using this https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/ to see what the bottleneck would be like
Regarding the bottleneck... that doesn't matter. There will ALWAYS be a bottleneck, otherwise your system would by definition be infinitely powerful. Having the bottleneck be your CPU is no problem at all. Some of the rest is just so wrong it's not even worth replying to.
Here you go: i9 9900K 48Gb RAM @ 3000MHz 1TB NVMe SSD 2TB HDD GTX 960 Some would say that my GPU is "a huge bottleneck." No, it isn't, practically. It isn't bottlenecking anything I want to do a a speed below what I find acceptable. I only play games casually, and, when I do, it's usually Minecraft Java, which is single-threaded CPU & RAM intensive, not GPU intensive. When playing minecraft, my GPU never hits 100% The other games I play are all small indie games, which usually aren't all that resource intensive. I have more than enough games I can play with my current setup in my "to play" backlog either way. You might then say that the CPU and ram are overkill, but, when I build for my job, I usually have 3-4 Minecraft accounts running with really high render distances to see different angles, meaning I easily hit 20-30GB of ram used. the CPU also works for this. If I would have picked the parts new, I would have probably gone for a Ryzen 5600X with 32GB instead, but this CPU+Motherboard+ram was comparatively cheap second-hand. Also, I have been doing a lot more coding for my job lately. And, let me tell you, 48GB of ram and 16 threads is really nice when running a docker desktop for writing and two virtual machines for testing. I quite frequently hit 40GB+ ram used + 80/90%CPU used when developing lately. The bigger CPU also helps with compile times. In general, I feel like my system is rather well balanced and specced for my specific workload. The one thing I will say is that, since I code in Debian KDE, having a Nvidia GPU is not ideal, but I don't game in that partition anyway, so who cares? Also, I have a 13" HP Probook G7 laptop (i5 10210u / 12GB RAM) which I use when I need something on the go. I only really use it for taking notes / browsing sites at uni and stuff like that, so I mostly just care about it being reliable, and (hopefully) lasting me a long time.
