New System Build Advice

[kate]

That's a pretty nice build!

If you're considering AMD at all, I recently did a build with:
AMD Ryzen 3950x
MSI Unify 570x
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 128GB (4 x 32GB) DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200
2TB Sabrent Q Rocket SSD m.2 (holy poop that thing has some FAST load times)
1200 EVGA Platinum+ PS (literally nothing smaller was available)
Corsair HI115 liquid CPU cooler

I reused 2x gtx 1080 Founders (non-SLI - SLI was insanely unstable in this new build) & a pair of 4k panels that are better for work than they are for gaming. I'm waiting for delivery today of the Alienware AW3420DW (34" curved, WQHD 3440 X 1440 120hz, gsync), and will almost certainly be getting an RTX 3090 to go along with it, and hopefully the leaks are correct that it has 24gb ram.

I have no ambitions to do more than MAYBE 8 box, though currently I 5 box, and the only real bottleneck I have is my GPU - I have the followers on one screen, and whatever my active character is is fullscreen 4k on the other - I'm not happy with the graphic performance in some cases, I'm still tweaking the console settings for swapping back and forth. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I move to the ultrawide & gsync.

Thank you both so much for the response!!

My worry mostly was if for some reason I end up going with the 3080 (if the 3090 is more than 1500) with the 10gb of ram
if I would have any issues running 1440p at min.

Also if 32Gb of ram is plenty, I realize its on the upper end of the isboxer min 5man req but want to make sure.

Thank you! Not really thinking of doing AMD this go around but who knows after this week may change my mind lol.

how many core did you assign to every toon? and what are your graphic and fps settings? (i'm thinking to make a new build until the end of the year :-P )

I just have all cores available to all toons, which is probably not optimal, but I haven't had any issues with performance at all on 5 characters, regardless of which zone I'm in or how crowded it is.

Graphics now is a 3090 FE, on a 1440 ultrawide @120 fps, with gsync. I haven't done ANY tuning yet - I plan on doing some slot swap macros that will turn down graphics settings for all the non-active characters, and turn 'em up for the active character when I switch toons.

Currently, foreground character is allowed to be 120 fps, background characters are 30 fps. Without doing ANY of that tuning I mention above, I'm able to run all slots at whatever an 8 out of 10 means to wow, and my active toon's FPS stays comfortably in the 80-90 FPS range which is quite nice. Once I tweak things, I'll be adding in a 4k display on the side for the followers.

I have 3090FE as well.. LOVE IT! I have two Ultrawides, am considering trying to run them both and see how it goes! But all the games i have now don't even make it sweat! Can't wait for Cyberpunk! I have not done two montitors in years. Two ultrawides might be a bit much lol

Being somewhat ridiculous, I would actually do 3 ultrawides if I did more than 1 ultrawide, because I'm addicted to not having a bezel in the middle now. With the second monitor being a 4k one, I can just plonk it on the side and still stare straight ahead at the main screen and the bezel won't bug me.

That card is a total beast, right? I am anxiously awaiting Cyberpunk's release as well.
