Guru3D Winter 2018-2019 PC Buyers Guide 5

Posted by: Raffaele Lagattolla on: 02/18/2019 06:20 PM [ 15 comment(s) ]

It's 'that' time of year again, when I finally emerge from the maelstrom that was the end of 2018, CES 2019, and the release of Radeon VII. This article has been 'ready' for a fair while, but the rapidity of events in early 2019 has led to several not insignificant revisions over the course of the last 6 or so weeks.

A very good article, an interesting & entertaining read, and good to see some other people taking the load off Hilbert! Yeah, it's refreshing to have some different writers, you can feel the different writing style as well as the angle of thought. Hey, I like Hilbert's articles too, but this mixes it up a bit. Some solid advice in this article & well laid out for an easy informative read.

High-end gaming GPU segment recommendations were a bit vague in terms of the large spread of different options, and I feel that NVidia GPU's here are a better deal overall, but I suppose you gotta mention AMD if they're putting in half a fight. I wish they'd put in a better fight, I'll buy one next time if they do. Undervolted & overclocked Vega56 is for me the only relevant AMD GPU currently, but you need to be a proper tweaker to get that one, and then you don't have the RTX & DLSS features of NVidia (yes, some people slate it, but it is looking forwards, and I think they will become more relevant).

I suspect I will get a lot of flack for this section (mostly for my stance on CPU choice on the Intel front, as well as daring to recommend/mention the 2700X or Vega, in either of its guises), but all I am trying to do is to present options, and cater to a variety of budgets and/or circumstances. We all have common sense, use it and decide what budget you have and what works for you.


If only that were true.
