Another good thing about the x3D, including the 5800, is it's easier to extract it's max performance because RAM speed & timings make much less performance difference so it's much more plug-and-play VS overclocking and tuning RAM frequency & timings.
Indeed! The not-sensitivity of the 5800x3D for RAM was a major factor in the decision to get my 7600x build.
I was pretty annoyed by my 10600k which was sufficient but the 1% lows caused some microstutter in basically every game.
So I could've waited and waited. But having the option to now have plenty enough fps with less heat in my room and putting in a 3D cpu in the future when the normal CPUs would need faster ram (and therefore mobo) was very convincing!
I really like Frame Chasers. I'm always confident I'm getting the "real picture" with him. I love how he calls out shills regardless of the brand. He calls out mainstream tech-tubers especially when they clearly are biased in a particular video. FC doesn't care - no sponsors, no product samples, no bias, and always sets up his products and reviews in a "proper" way.
Yeah it's definitely great to have that channel around!
Not the massive, usual testing and overviews but more really into the important points that come up after you've watched the big channels.
I became an instant fan when FC called out Hardware Unboxed for the way HU deceived their massive audience with terribly biased tests due to uneven RAM selection and when he called out JayzTwoCents for trying to get every one to buy a brand-new GPU at stupid-high prices. FC called him out while informing his audience to not follow Jay's terrible advice, to save their money, and to look for particular used cards & brands. Jay even made a follow-up apology video (probably just to save face). FC calls out Moore's Law is Dead for some of his atronomically ridiculous claims. FC calls out a lot of people who are lying and deceiving their audience while knowing computer hardware & overclocking better than most (if not all) of those mainstream tech-tubers.
I agree, although:
Hwub are just doing soooo much. It was probably an oversight. Over the years I've never seen them doing anything even remotely "shady".
But sometimes you think "why didn't they do this or that a little differently?!".
But we all know this. If you're deep into your rabbit hole of doing your thing, you end up needing some corrective inputs from the outside.
Jay's video was a bit.. Weird.
But he seems like an honest guy and I think he really meant to do good with that gpu video.
And to be honest, here in Germany, the prices only took one dip after his video and then climbed up again after a few weeks!
So yeah, his video was about 3 weeks too early for German prices but after that one dip, the situation got worse again!
Moore's law is dead is more like "fun news" where you get to know stuff that you won't get as easily anywhere else. But yeah, half of it turns out just wrong haha.
WTF's a de-esser?
EDIT: Ignore the de-esser question, lol. Ya, that's annoying to the ears, I never noticed it before with FC's vids though. I've heard wayyy worse.
Hope you won't hear it now
I've definitely heard worse. He at least doesn't need speech-training. Just a de-esser and some EQ and it's good.
My ears/brain is over sensitive about this, I know that.
But I still like to give some "feedback" every now and then just to inform people that they lose out on a viewer/listener due to that and it's easy to fix.
Every video editing program can use VSTs or even has presets.
And no, I'm not just complaining. I'd be up to create a preset for everyone I'm criticising! Like the RD podcast, which I ended up mixing completely
(but please don't think that's the level of quality I'd be proud of. The raw material was just pretty bad most of the times
None of the participants got paid for it though, so they had to use what they had available to them at home)
