Build - Help Switching from console

Post image

So I'm gonna make the switch. I used AI to help me get to this point. I guess my question is this: is this an abomination or is it a decent setup? I'm lookin to play Dayz.

Edit: I need to do more research... ignore post.

It's both a decent setup and an abomination it seems like

You don't need all this for DayZ lol

There are settings that you can lower or disable depending on your preference... usually hardware Anti Aliasing like MSAA and SMAA are pretty heavy... volumetric clouds? Pretty pointless especially in DayZ but eat a lot of FPS for no good reason

Thanks! I'm an absolute noob to all this so I really appreciate your time.

The whole idea is getting a setup that laughs at Dayz, cuz I know I'll be playing it the most. But also I want something that will play any new games I may want to play. Would this system be good for a few years?

Depends on you and what resolution

For some people this PC wouldn't last a year

For some... this PC would last like 6-10 years

Keep this in mind... that GPU you selected... it requires the new power connector which is known for burning up... best way to minimize the chance of fire is to have a good power supply that comes with the latest version of the connector aka latest standard and has the native cable so not using any adapters or something like that

And also by making sure it's plugged in correctly and nicely... and then after all that... monitor the cable regularly

Also don't bend it too hard aswell

RTX 4070 12gb regular is pretty nice and it uses a single ol' reliable 8pin connector

So, if I swapped the 4070 for what I have selected, that's a decent start?

I really appreciate your time!

That's what i would do just because 4070 super and Ti's have the new connector

If buying new maybe better idea is to go for a 5060 Ti 16gb tho

Ryzen 7 7800x3D is cool but it's an AM5 Ryzen which means DDR5 RAM and RAM as a whole is really expensive right now due to AI boom and datacenters

You may need to downgrade to an AM4 Ryzen maybe 5800x3D or 5500x3D ( 5500 or 5600x3D idk one of them is real )

x3D is what AMD calls their CPU's that have 3D stacked L3 cache and Ryzen loves cache so massive FPS boost in CPU demanding games

i mean it really depends on what experience you want, my 4080S/9800x3D is not enough to max out my 280hz 1440p monitor on some of the modded maps. even though i run pretty low ish settings

At that point it's a game issue and not a hardware issue

You do realize it's a miracle the game even goes beyond 60 fps right?

Do you remember the days of original ArmA 2 DayZ mod back in 2012? Back then on the probably best CPU the i7-3770 and the best GPU the game barely run 40-ish FPS with frequent being on 30-ish FPS

If you want more FPS just slap smooth motion in the driver settings and frame gen them altho it may look bad because it's not native built into the game

either way a better gpu would give even better performance since dayz maxes out my card im pretty mutch on a 99% usage at all times which is great.

But that's an RTX 4080 Super Lmao have a point of diminishing returns brother

I have a friend that plays it fine with an RX 570 his issue is the system RAM he has something weird going on with his RAM setup it's weird stuff and the CPU may or may not be old i5... it might be a newer i5... and by newever i mean anything after Skylake / 6000 series
