Im gonna be upgrading soon from my Haswell 4790 i7 to a new i7 10700k 10th gen Intel chip. was wondering if anybody is on 10th gen now and what the experience is like. I am going to keep my gtx1080 for now, put in 32g of DDR4 3600 ram , and run it off a samsung 970 nvme m.2 1T SSD This will be on a Asus z 490 prime MB. Part of me of course wants to see perf boost for the money being spent but then again, this is SL we're talking about here. BTW I am not gonna overclock, just let the MB do a optimal tune

Interested to know as well. Running on a retina 5K iMac atm, but Monday my i7-10700 with 32GB RAM and a lovely nVidia 3070 video card arrives. I get 15 fps in a busy place, my partner same spot with a 2070 Super gets 50 with twice the viewing distance (and set two notches up on quality, just one under Ultra he is). Can not wait. Will post by Tuesday with notes, Jackson.

1T SSD

If you've already ordered, never mind, but otherwise: do you really want to keep a terabyte of data local to your machine? I'm not objecting to all machine-local data being on SSD -- that's what I do, too, and have done so for years with no problems. But any terabyte-scale volume of stuff I keep in the cloud and/or on a cheap local RAIDed NAS box. YMMV, of course.

actually i have a 1T m2 SSD crucial now, along with my older 1T HD and a older external 1T drive (those are pretty much archive drives). None are more than 50% full anyways. I picked up the samsung 970 1T cause well, it was super cheap on sale, and would be a better drive to put the OS on, so I am going to use that along with my other 1T m2 crucial SSD and the other older drives as well. Ill prob use the crucial 1T SSD for recording video to and scratch discs for the video editor. Maybe not optimum, but nvme m2 cards are really cheap these days so what the heck

I'd rather sell the whole box and get a nice, fresh Ryzen system.

I dont touch amd,  bad history with the company, I would go into detail, but suffice the quick version is, I had to eat a sku of barton cpus after they came out because of defect and it cost me to much and almost my life because of the depression.

AMD is cleaning Intel's clock now, and unless Intel pulls a rabbit out of its hat we're gonna see Intel fade like IBM did. Thing is though right now, Itel has been the primary dominates force in PC chips, so all the hardware and software has been optimized to perform on Intel. I suspect it won't be that way for much longer though. But I'd like to see AMD get a little longer track record and this Ryzon streak they are on has only really started about 2016. They've had flashes of brilliance before only for it to fade away

I've been loyal to intel/nvidia because of what happened,  it's not going to change,  it's just how I am :) I'm old.

Waste of money for SL - the only thing currently matters in terms of FPS in Second Life is raw single-core CPU performance.

I've been told that, and yet have a huge gap between how my partners system and mine performs. He's got a comparable CPU (okay, a rich better but not by much) and a 2070 Super, mine's an older Radeon Pro 580 and he's getting 3-4x the frame rate at twice the draw distance and almost Ultra graphics so in terms of shadows, textures etc his card is smacking mine hard. Will write up my difference in same scene when I get this all set up this coming week. If it is this darn CPU, then at least I can play MS Flight Sim and X-Plane much nicer with the 3070.

Update ... okay, apologies Ansariel ... I am way behind on processors and have a much crappier one than I imagined ... if anyone interested here are the basics: going from a 4 core, 8 thread, 7th gen processor (from over 3 years ago), with an 8MB cache and boosting to 4.5GHz on 2133 RAM, to a 10th gen i7-10700F, 8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB cache boosting to 4.8GHz.

That will be a big improvement, yes?

PS. And I finally have my wired Ethernet up to speed after being blocked to only 100Mbps .. nearly 1000Mbps down now according to the speed test sites I use.

I just got a Ryzen 5 3600 (6c,12t) to replace my current Ryzen 3 1300x (4c,4t). Nice thing about it is not having to change the motherboard or memory. I already updated the BIOS. It may not be the newest and best, but six cores for US$200? I'll take that!
