Get ryzen
Then install gentoo

play games on ultra mode?

>>61916406
is there anything out there, though, that would actually make use of the extra compute?

Other than like 10-15 extra fps

>>61916488
You can do high FPS gaming.
The only reason I'm upgrading this month myself is so I can play FPS games at 200fps instead of 60fps.
If you don't care about that or about ultra graphics, it's not exactly worth spending so much money on hardware.

>>61916522
oh, I hadn't considered that

>>61916540
cont.

I got mine for doing work, but I miss trying out games with insane graphics, and recently, I haven't seen anything too impressive

>>61916540
Yeah but remember that for high fps gaming you also need a high refresh monitor, that's about 250-500 extra bucks to spend.

>>61916148

Never gonna make it on /g/ breh.

>>61916148
Heat up your cuck shed as you watch the latest and greatest games played on console.

>>61916148
Play everything at 4k until my eyes melt.

>>61916560
I also use my computer for work, honestly if you can spare the money and the upgrade will make your work better, then it's okay to buy this stuff. Even if you don't "need" it.

what games actually worth playing alot, require high-end equipment like that?

im pretty sure you can play 100% of all games on medium-high graphics with a GTX 1050 and pentium

also MMORPG's dont care how good your cards are. all you need is a SSD

>>61916522
you can't tell the difference between 60fps and 200fps

>>61916658
That's bullcrap, I totally can.

>>61916522
You have a 200fps monitor?

>>61916682
mostly placebo effect. you feel good about spending that extra few hundred bucks on the monitor and gpu. to normal people, theres no difference in quality and enjoyment

>>61916488
>>61916148
might aswell,, no point in settling for less..

>>61916658
Yeah, because the human eye can't see above 24 fps, amirite?

Back to your containment board
>>>/v/

>>61916688
144hz

>>61916694
Yeah whatever, I can totally tell the difference between 30hz, 60hz, 120hz and 144hz. What's harder to tell the difference from is 144hz vs 200+ hz.

If you have a 60hz monitor you can probably overclock it to 75hz with some resolution loss, try it out. Just move around the mouse in the desktop, and tell me it doesn't look quite smoother.

>>61916738
>144Hz
You're wasting computational power and producing excess heat.
I know what you're after, just limit the framerate to 144 through Msi afterburner and set the number of prerendered frames to 1.

DO PEOPLE NOT FUCKING KNOW 3D MODELLING EXIST HOLY FUCK YOU FUCKING RETARDS JESUS CHRIST ALL ABOUT GAYMES GAYMES GAYMES

>>61916718
it is valid to argue about computer hardware for the purpose of gaming on both /g/ and /v/.

Video and image work are pretty intensive on both CPU and GPU aren't they? So, that I guess.

I neither game enough to justify the cost nor do the aforementioned work for a living so I just have a 950/i3

>>61916148
Same reason you'd prefer a modern over-the top car over an older cheap one.

To render modern graphic at excessive framerates, above-max settings and extreme resolutions.
So as to stroke ego, appreciate beauty of current 3d and enjoy greater immersion.

Nothing really "needed". Budget choice does the same job, just not as good.

>>61916760
I lock the framerate to 142 because then it never goes above 144 and doesn't give me any tearing whatsoever, and gives me more consistent frames than with prerendered frames on.

Still, I can totally feel the smoother input on the mouse when I play at 250fps in an FPS game, and since I'm not concerned with power consumption/heat when I am playing the games where I want all the framerate I just leave it on like that.
If I'm playing something like a Bethesda game or some other slow game I cap the framerates and put the graphics to ultra.

>>61916813
Usually video editing eats up all your RAM and render times are heavily affected by CPU power, but a dedicated GPU doesn't make a huge difference unless you're doing stuff like handling 4k video and such. For even high end users the need for a 1080 for video editing is questionable.
For example at my previous job I worked on 5k screens with dedicated GPUs editing 4k videos/images, and you can totally feel the components being put to work, but for most users who will probably only edit 1080p or 1440p footage, you really don't need a top of the line i7 or Threadripper and a 1080ti or whatever.

As long as the editing experience is smooth and render times aren't atrocious, you should be fine with whatever hardware you've got.

>>61916886
IIRC the GPU comes in for the "image work." Photoshop even has settings for GPU acceleration no?

I don't think you get how USB mouse polling works. It's a placebo.
Get a PS/2 mouse.

>>61916190
Buying Ryzen is violence against Israel

>>61916899
Yes, you can turn on GPU acceleration on both PS, AE, Premiere, etc. But unless you are doing huge images it doesn't make a huge difference.
It's not like using either of these programs without a GPU makes the unusable, but it smoothens the experience by a significant margin.

>>61916148
Well i play pubg, which is thw best game that came out in the last 17 years and I want it in full graphics

>>61916936
My mouse has a 1000hz polling rate, I think it's sufficient to tell the difference.

>>61916945
Instantly buying 1000

>>61916635
It's makes my E-Penis bigger than yours

>>61916950
So basically if you're in a video/image editing profession and work with high resolution media, you could make use of overkill components just to make your flow smoother.

Nice, it's one of those "gamer" mice that supposedly also support 5000 dpi.
Your CPU controls USB devices, not your GPU. You can't just double the framerate and get double the polling or whatever you feel is going on.

OC'd 1050 is high 1080p 60fps

>>61916984
Absolutely! That's the whole point. I don't think anyone would build a video/image editing workstation without a dedicated GPU nowadays. I certainly haven't found one at any of my jobs before.

Depending on what you're using and doing you can expect to max out your components when doing image/video editing. I have 16GB of ram and I max it out pretty often, my last job had workstations with 64GB of ram and we maxed them out pretty regularly. You will use the CPU to its fullest when rendering videos, your GPU will accelerate the viewports in 3DCG programs and significantly make the experience smoother.

However if your workstation is limited to programming and other less demanding dev stuff you probably don't need an overkill CPU/GPU/RAM combo.

>>61917001
It's a Zowie FK1, it only goes up to 3200 dpi. Regardless if it's placebo or not, I can feel a differene in smoothness in aiming with a mouse at higher framerates. You can even feel it with a 60hz monitor.

>>61917038
And I "felt" more smoothness overclocking my monitor from 60 to 77hz until I did some tests and found out it justs somehow introduces dummy frames and it's all a lie.

Playing video games.
Sorry, it's the cold, hard truth. Need something to relax when I get home from my code monkey job.

>>61917047
Interpolated frames can make it feel smoother.

tfw I bought 2 980Ti when they came out thinking I was gonna play a bunch of demanding games but I ended up only playing SSBM CS and osu!

Already mentioned earlier in the thread but 3D modelling, video and image editing and rendering.
Note that you totally don't need a 1080ti, but having a good dedicated GPU does increase performance substantially.

You just asked yourself a very good question.

well i've got a ryzen 7 and a 1080ti
i play video games on it
mostly hearthstone on the TV in 4k

Just bump it down a notch, do you need a 1080, get a 1070

>>61916148

Play games like ARMA 3 and UE4 un-optimized shit with the CPU, and with that GPU you may play games at high settings in 4k/1440p
