My PC Specs currently:
Windows 11 Pro
AMD 5800X3D CPU
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) Motherboard
64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram
RTX 4090 Founders Edition video card
4x Samsung 990 Pro 4TB Nvme Drives (2 on expansion cards)
LG 65-Inch Class OLED B4 Series Smart TV 4K 120Hz

Do you like that OLED TV for gaming? I'm looking at getting something, not quite as big, but close. Any issues with it being "too big" for gaming? OLED a hassle?

the way my computer is setup my screen is across from me like a small living room and it is just perfect...the TV and computer take a little setup to fully sync and get the absolute best visuals and you need a good 4k HDMI cable, but the picture quality is nearly unmatched even by some more elite and expensive models. Trust me you won't go wrong with this TV (especially since it has features intended for PC use and connection.

Good to know. I've been eyeing the C4 model (I think that's the name?) around 50 inches (don't remember exact dimensions).

Though, for my setup, it would be wall mounted in front of my gaming desktop, about 3.5 - 4 ft away from me.... not sure if that's too close for the size? I'm used to smaller monitors like the 32 inch I have now. I'd like to have a big-screen effect where the image takes up most of my peripheral vision but that may not be feasible/good.

it wouldn't hurt to up that Ryzen 5 to something more powerful(e.x Ryzen 7), your CPU might be holding your 3060 back a little bit, probably not too much but still, you don't NEED to upgrade though since a bottleneck if there is one wouldn't be noticeable, you may see a increase in performance in specific situations with a upgrade though

but of course, if it works it works, that can hold up for a while before needing a upgrade so unless you want to squeeze out some more FPS, you can save for a upgrade

either way decent setup, has some more horsepower then the i7-3770K+1660 Ti i currently run

If i would like to upgrade to a better CPU, i would need to upgrade my power supply, and maybe my motherboard, and buy a new monitor if i wanted more fps. And currently i can run Forza horizon 5 on Extreme graphics plus that graphic settings that werent on to the highest, and i run 60fps and it holds it, i Play ETS2 on highest graphics plus graphic mods on 60fps to, and i think the only game where the CPU holds down the GPU, where i play on 35-45 fps is Beamng.

Not just winter... it's that expensive all the time. 😆

German electricity is expensive.

German electric is expensive like English electric because the prices have been raised because of the sanctions put on Russia by both our governments.

Electricity is expensive in Norway and Poland too. Its expensive in whole Europe i think📈

[andreasaspenberg575]

in europe it is usually expensive. which is why norway is trying to cut their ties.

makes sense, you can save some bucks to get those things when your CPU starts to hold back your 3060 and starts to show age, although a new GPU entirely would also help after that point

If you remove VAT, Germany is about as expensive as the US with most products (sometimes it basically cancels out the currency conversion)

Wow! So cool to see all these AMD Phenom systems (indeed Bulldozer wasn't an upgrade unless you went for the 200W TDP model, lol) and 1st and 2nd gen Intel Core processors. Also, love the EVGA GPU's out there. ;)

Mine (and to put this out in the advance: I upgrade about every 5 years):
* AMD Ryzen 7 7700X @ 65W TDP setting
* Sapphire Radeon 7900 XT 20 GB
* Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V.1.0 w/F32d BIOS at the time of this posting
* 32 GB (2x16 GB) Corsair DDR5-5600
* Windows 11 24H2 (btw: W11 is 64-bit only)
* LG 32" 1440P 165 Hz Freesync Premium/GSync HDR monitor
* Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX speaker system / Epos Gaming Zero Headset and Epos GSX 300 DAC
* Corsair RGB mechanical keyboard, Logitech G series gaming mouse, and Xbox Series S|X wireless controller
* Seasonic G Series 750W Gold PSU
* Sabrent 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD

Least to say, this thing is SWEEEET! I built it myself -- going back about 25 years now as a PC builder. :)

Sorry to tell you this but you just bottlenecked your gpu with pci-e gen 3,0.
It need PCI-E Gen 4.0.
You lose a lot of performance when running PCI-E Gen 3.0 at x8 vs 4.0 X8.
gen 4.0 at X8 is the same spec as Gen 3.0 at x16.
Pci-e gen 3.0 x8 you just cut the performance of that gpu in half.

While it's true that 3.0 x8 isn't ideal, it's not going to meaningfully harm performance, that's been a fact since the RX 6600 came out.

Seriously dude, you're just fearmongering at this point, for no reason. Most games are only going to see a single digit difference with games that are EASY to run.
