I used to have a PC with an AMD CPU and an NVidia GPU. Some people would ask “how does that even work?” as if it’s something you’re not supposed to do.
FX9370 CPU and Dual R9 390, that fucking thing pulled 900w from the wall at max load xD Gotta love AMD! Later swapped the FX9370 to an i7 4790k, then the 2 R9 390s became a 2070 Super and now im running that 2070S with an i7 10700k :D Need a new GPU Soon™ its starting to show its age
Exactly. I swapped my Intel for an AMD and kept the Nvidia GPU. I mean, sure it kept crashing, but then I got an AMD GPU and it was just as unstable, nothing to do with the Nvidia card after all!
I mean that's kind of just the expected build these days. Intel botched multiple generations of CPUs in a row and the 3D v-cache tech that AMD developed is fantastic for gaming. Meanwhile, AMD's GPU drivers are *still* dogshit (I would know, I have a 6800XT) and now NVidia basically owns the entire GPU market for consumer, workstation and data center applications
I have had both types of GPUs. But only ever rocked an AMD CPU. Just upgraded to the last AM4 chip, so I didn't need to try and find DDR5 or update my motherboard.
So a 5800x3d and a 3080. I'm hoping not to need to upgrade again for a bit.
Yeah. I wasn't too worried. I just replaced my 3600x, since I was rebuilding my dad's PC (who doesn't game or need anything major), and had everything else just kinda laying around.
The controller still works great with PC even if the console is dead. I personally still have two stock 360s and a modded one that all work so they are still going strong
I got one for free a few years back with the Red Ring of Death. Took it apart and baked the motherboard in the oven for 3h and it ran fine after that xD
I have a first gen x360 that came with no hard drive. Still running, no red ring. I should get another variant just in case. I still have a backlog to go through
X360 originally sold as a "core edition" as a budget version. I was still a student with limited budget. I regret not shelling the extra money for a hard drive. But it is what it is
No worries bud. It was a bs version, not Microsoft's only only. They later on sold a Forza bundle with a HDD that was too small for the patch to fix the game.

I have an adapter that lets me use a keyboard/mouse on my consoles 𓆩😈𓆪

Xbox players still buying batteries
smashpro1
Just buy one.
ElvenTroll1121
Ah so like apple

I just run cable. Goes under the floorboard cause I'm fancy and bits
DeMelonia
haha microsoftbois have done this since Xbox360, its sad that they still have to buy batteries

I have one with an AMD CPU, an intel GPU, running linux, streaming windows games from steam to my apple TV with a playstation 5 controller.
I know where their tech skills really are when I hear their response to what I built.

The gpu driver situation in Linux is the other way around. It’s hilarious

That 6800XT will be working long after the Nvidia equivalents have popped their caps and gone to the e-waste bin.

Seeing as CPU increases are less and less relevant and that GPU is still good, i think you'll be fine.
Ac1dBurn72

I've been running a 5900x for about four years, and have no plans to upgrade until the ddr6 platforms mature. The 5xxx is such a good cpu series.
Ac1dBurn72
Honestly looking at the improvement in percentage, the cost/value hasn't at ALL increased since the 3xxx series.
Similarly, Intel hasn't made big strides in computing. In a hot minute
Pardonmygarlicfarts
Haven't all older variants red circled by now? This is a paperweight

Pretty sure there are about a thousand solutions to this at this point

No HDD? That doesn't seem right
