what do you guys think of this?

Originally posted by Cretae It's hard to comment when you don't tell us what you want to do, and what your monitor can do. If you will be gaming mostly, I think you have more CPU than you will ever use. The extra cores will do nothing. If you're still deciding, look into the release of the latest Gen 12 CPUs from Intel due soon. Strictly for gaming, the 11900K is the top CPU, but the 12000s will be better. I'd suggest you read up a bit on the 3080 Ti. The reviews I've seen talk about wasting money for very little gain. If you are using a 1440p monitor, even a 3080 is a bit much. The card is designed for high performance at 4K. At these prices, this is not the time to seek overkill in a GPU. Nothing else seems out of place for a high budget system, IMHO.

Oh ok I will go with rtx 3080 and i reached that amd is much better with gaming while intel i9 11000k isnt great.

If you are just gaming, the i9 11900K is the best performing CPU (just barely.) However, if you do more than gaming, a Ryzen CPU is probably better, because it has more cores that non-gaming apps tend to use. But personally, I don't think the CPU choice makes a huge difference for gaming. It's the GPU this is the most important.

I see that intel have better performance than ryzen cpu. But do u think i should go to intel i9 1100k instead?

Yeah my bad

Originally posted by JamesAstro Based on the benchmark numbers, I would say get the i9 11900K if you are just using this machine for gaming. However, if you plan on using other apps that require a strong CPU, then get the Ryzen.

Agree. The 11900K "isn't great" because it's a bit of a disappointing step from the last gen from Intel. It's still the boss chip for gaming "(just barely)" as JamesAstro said.

The Alder Lake 12th Generation from Intel is now rumored for late October, and promises to be much better than the 11900K. Strictly for gaming, it won't make a whole lot of difference that matters IMHO.

Ok i will wait for 12th gen and change 3080 ti to 3080 and should i add overclocking stage 2?

Originally posted by Cretae "...should I add overclocking stage 2?" You already asked this in another thread, and the answer was a resounding "NO". You should not add overclocking because an Intel i9 CPU will turbo as high as 5.3 GHz all by itself. All overclocking will add is that the entire chip runs at an unnecessarily high speed and heat all day long adding nothing, and probably shortening life. IDK why you won't tell us if this a gaming rig, or multi-purpose. Just about every question has multiple answers depending on this one issue.

Yes you have told me that but i want to check double to make sure and i had overclocking my old lumo and give me my gaming little lag and freeze sometime even i have great internet

Originally posted by JamesAstro Originally posted by Misterclever0ne should i add overclocking stage 2? I'd like to reinforce what Cretae said: Don't bother overclocking. Last night I was running some gaming benchmarks on my new Velox machine, and I kept my eye on CPU usage the whole time. I don't think it ever went above 30% usage while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Anno 1800, and The Division 2. I was really surprised by how little the CPU was used. Since I don't have an overclocked CPU, that means it was able to throttle back as needed, didn't waste energy, didn't heat up the inside of my case, didn't contribute to warming up the graphics card, and didn't cause my case fans to speed up. If I had been using an overclocked CPU, then everything would have gotten much hotter, and there would have been no benefit.

Yes im agreed with you. i had my lumo before with overclocking stage 1 and my pc was hot. but good thing i sold my pc on ebay and want to get new one without overclocking so my pc wont get hotter
