Honestly, he could probably get away with a B650 board, as long as it has the features he needs. x3D chips can’t (really) be overclocked and aren’t particularly RAM sensitive, so beefy VRM isn’t really necessary. And contrary to what the marketing might say, we aren’t going to need PCIe Gen 5 x16 for another decade. We are barely saturating Gen 3 x16 at this point.

My friend went with that exact mobo for his build and has had no issues. And yea you don't "need" to go x670.... you could save money and go the B650 route... but if you are already going for a 4090 build... what's another $50 for some extra features you may want or use.
But... make sure you are a case chad and build in a Phanteks NV7 or NV5... cleanest cases on the market

Phanteks makes a good case. This may be unpopular, but I built in the NZXT H7 Flow. It came out clean, and I used the NZXT halo rgb fans. I have pretty good thermals on the heat beast 11900K.

If you go Fractal, either go with the Torrent (if you decide to air cool), or the Fractal North for a sleek modern aesethic

AMD's Next-Gen Ryzen CPUs Enter Mass Production: Zen 5 "Granite Ridge" Coming To AM5 Desktop PCs Later This Year
The next-gen AMD Ryzen CPU family will be a big one as it moves to a brand new Zen architecture. Codenamed "Granite Ridge", the next-gen CPUs will be powered by the Zen 5 core architecture and feature a range of new technologies including the brand-new architecture itself. These CPUs will be compatible with the AM5 desktop platform including the existing 600-series motherboards.

Thanks. I was wondering about this.

4070 Super review embargo lifted today. Looks like it's under performing slightly from those previous rumors, but not dramatically. Current price per frame at 1440p in pure raster. Obviously performance would compare more favorably if you play with RT:
In short, it's by no means a bad card, but it's nothing to be excited over. These seem to be purely to readjust pricing compared to similar AMD cards without having to "lower MSRP" on the original cards.

Nearly 10% higher cost per frame in nearly every comparable option...seems like Nvidia has a cost problem.

Almost certainly intentional. I doubt Nvidia hasn’t noticed the general discussion sentiment that people are willing to pay a 10-20% premium to have access to the areas Nvidia is clearly ahead in, namely RT and upscaling. Like I said, this is clearly Nvidia pricing this card exactly where it thinks it has to, and not a dollar cheaper.

I think they're just tone-deaf and overvalue themselves lol

Tone deaf, yes. Frustrating in their pricing practices, yes. Overvaluing themselves? That’s a market question, and until AMD starts making significant inroads in market share, it’s hard to argue that Nvidia is overvaluing itself.

I’m still really curious where the 4080 super is going to come in once the embargo’s are lifted
Posted on 1/16/24 at 5:29 pm to SaintEB
No problem, with the big gains on this new architecture I am for sure grabbing an 8700X day 1.

Looks like AMD was quick to respond to the 4070S: 7900XT MSRP and Retail Prices Cut
MSRP down $50 to $749 and retail prices are between $710 and $720 this morning. That brings the current retail cost per frame down from $6.50 to $5.91. Still higher than the 4070S $5.71, but that's to be expected as it's in a different performance tier, averaging 120fps at 1440p in HUB's testing compared to the 105 for the 4070S. I would expect price adjustments from AMD to continue up the stack as the Nvidia refreshes are released this month.

Where my AMD stock bros at?

Analysts predict that AMD could benefit from the same AI trend that tripled Nvidia's stock value in 2023. Barclays confidently set the target price for AMD stock at $200, while KeyBanc Capital Markets established a new target of $195.
