No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I am not a tech savvy person - and my son needs a new gaming desktop that can run Monster Hunter Wilds. Could you please help me figure out if either of these two options will work? Option 1 is significantly cheaper, so I'm holding my fingers crossed for that one.

Thank you all in advance!

Specs for Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-11600K or Intel® Core™ i5-12400 or AMD - Ryzen™ 5 3600X or AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 Super(VRAM 8GB) or NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 4060(VRAM 8GB) or AMD Radeon™ RX - 6700XT(VRAM 12GB)
  • DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 8 GB (AMD 12GB)
  • PIXEL SHADER: 6.0
  • VERTEX SHADER: 6.0
  • FREE DISK SPACE: 140 GB

OPTION 1:

OPTION 2:

I believe the price difference is made up by the current generation CPU and GPU, plus the fact AMD Is much more upgrade friendly with CPUs when they time comes. Also, X3D whips ass in games. I’m still rocking a 5800X3D and don’t feel behind the times whatsoever with my gaming rig.

I do not believe option 1 to be the value proposition for gaming, despite the significantly lower price.

Upgrade friendly doesnt really make sense, the CPUs are either AM4 or AM5 right now. If you want to "future proof" in any way you'd just want to make sure you get an AM5 motherboard+CPU combo. AM4 is find but when upgrade time comes youll likely need to replace the motherboard and/or the CPU.

7800X3D is AM5 which is AMDs current socket. Of the choices presented, this is the most likely to be supported in the future, which is why I suggested this option.

I never suggested an AM4 setup, nor is it an option presented. I’m merely sharing an anecdote that my current 5800X3D is still very relevant for gaming, so I believe a 7800X3D will fare similarly.
