𓀐 @-6bwKHF4: The thing I didnt try because I dont have the hardware is if there is a difference with top tier SSDs paired with top tier CPUs. A faster CPU than my 5800X3D could compress at roughly double the speed and a faster nvme ssd could read up to 14GB/s compared to my older nvme ssd who is limited to 2GB/s. DDR4 RAM is 24GB/s. Maybe if you have swap on NVME SSDs of the latest generation in raid 0 you could compensate for the missing ram?+

𓀐 @Gm6_~PwQ: this kid makes it sounds like graphics accelerators didn't exist before 1999, or that they were only ever used for games. he points out nvidia coined the term gpu, which i believe is true, but he wrongly assumed that means they didn't exist before. only the term was new. people had been playing 3D games using chips to handle the 3D math for many years before 1999 (from arcade machines to consoles to pc cards). also, he just completely fails to mention 3D hardware not intended for games in the first place, SGI says hi.+

I am considering upgrading from a i5-13600k to a i7-14700k. same socket and good psu so no additional parts are required. other specs include a 4080, 32gb, plenty of (quick) storage. would this be a mistake/waste of money? i don't do any video rendering, but i do multitask a lot. any opinions would be appreciated+ 5
