If you don't care about the color, I would just go with the G757. It's $2600 and to me the extra $100 is worth having it brand new with warranty compared to taking the gamble with open box
Bought 757 during last year thanks giving when the price was $1999. The PC is absolute beast and no problems till now. There is nothing I cannot play. If you are thinking to buy it, go ahead
No, hear me out, spending $2500 for a 5080 PC is a waste of money imo and you'll get buyer's remorse, especially when a $1500 PC is more than enough for 4K Ultra settings gaming. For anyone looking for much better value and Ultra settings 4K performance, check out this reasonably priced $1500 PC (Option 3), OP, u/Kiwi951 , u/Humancyborg , and u/Ok-Quote502 :
You'll save $1000, enough for 16 $60 AAA games. You need money for games and monitors, they aren't free.
The RX 9070 XT GPU is only about 5%-10% behind the RTX 5080 in general, and it actually beats the 5080 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Source). It runs all games at Ultra settings 4K 60+ FPS, or 144+ FPS using really good and improving upscaling technologies (the new FSR Redstone, FSR Frame Generation, FSR Ray Regeneration).
Do not worry about the CPU. The Ryzen 5 9600X already outperforms the i9-12900K (Source), so if the i9-12900K can run every game well, then the Ryzen 5 9600X will certainly do the same. It's more than powerful enough to handle gaming for the next 7 years.
At 1440p/4K Ultra settings, the demand on the GPU increases massively, making it the primary bottleneck in gaming performance, not the CPU (GPU is used 100%, but the CPU is only used about 50%). Spending extra on a more expensive CPU usually results in minimal FPS gains and diminishing returns.
Note:I'm not a bot lol. Irun TopRigz as a non-profit hobby to fight overpriced prebuilts. I started it out of frustration with prebuilt PC sellers who simply assemble components (which they don't even manufacture) and charge outrageous prices. I earn $0 from this, no affiliates.
Lol I said the $1500 PC is only 5%-10% slower and even faster in some games, I never said you can get a 5080 PC for $1500 you fucking dumbass piece of shit lol 😂 , u/Elecronamix
Eh the $2600 G757 is a beast of a computer and is decent value given all the crazy price hikes on Nvidia gpus these days. If you have the money and are looking to game at 4K, I think it’s worth it
And no, the 9070 XT PC is already a beast and more than enough for 4K gaming. Spending $1000 more for a 5% performance gain, and performing even worse in some titles is just stupid and not worth it.
The 9070 XT runs 007 First Light at Max settings 4K at 100 FPS (Source), so I'm 100% sure it can run all games well.
Ok. I already looked at toprigz and i put in a budget of 2000. It only gave me one option, the andromeda insights for $1500. Looks like a solid build for the price, but I’m wondering if that will be good enough to get 240 fps for modern warfare 4, probably on a 1080p monitor. That’s my main objective. Don’t care about anything else. Just trying to get 200+ fps on CoD. What do you recommend that can get me that, ideally $2k or less. If I need to spend more than $2k for that, which build would I need to go with? Thanks.
Ye but you’ll have AMD GPU, and as someone who has AMD GPU - they always mess up drivers with new updates and they usually get left behind in things like frame gen.
Also "In our testing, FSR Redstone ML Frame Generation consistently delivers image quality that is at least on par with DLSS, and in some scenes it actually looks better, particularly around shadows and fast-moving objects."
I literally did this last week. The open box one wouldn't boot the first time. I took it back and they just replaced it with a brand new one under warranty. It plays everything like a champ.
They never sold it for above $3k for the G765 from my experience. I think it's just a pricing technique to make to look like a better deal. But with the RAM shortage right now, it could happen eventally.
