Yeah, it actually is. It’s better performancewise than my old 3070Ti (mainly because 8G VRAM nowadays really tanks performance at higher resolutions) but i do not have the necessary cash to upgrade in the current market.
I do a shitton of heavy compression/decompression, which is why i opted for the 16-core one (because this is a really good use case for it, and it is the maximum my mainboard supports either way - that took me flashing my bios, then replace the cpu, and then flash again immediately after to ensure everything worked fine - can’t even place the old CPU back in, and no way to downgrade) - if taking the fact into account that this platform is pretty old, it still is in the upper middle part of the pack in gamersnexus benchmarks regarding these operations, and i haven’t had any game yet that really was cpu limited outside of how long turns take in strategy games.
