Question 5800x3d with 4070Super at 1080p resolution
Relies heavily on gaming performance. GPU-intensive titles slow down with higher GPU usage, while lowering in-game graphics boosts FPS. CPU-bound games (like Civilization or Cities:Skylines) are constrained by CPU power and reducing graphics doesn’t significantly affect FPS. Still, with an RTX 4070 Super you can achieve around 140 FPS at 1080p Ultra; plenty of frames. Enabling Ray Tracing drops it to about 90 FPS, which is still acceptable. Source: As long as you maintain above 60 FPS, it’s fine—even 40 FPS works. Model and PSU details needed; also, is the PSU new or used/refurbished?
He didn't mention that your power supply has a bad unit. We need to verify the precise model, brand, and age of your current PSU, as this is crucial for troubleshooting and ensuring accurate PC specifications. This helps eliminate any hardware problems. The power supply is a vital part of the computer, so it's important to know its details. You only provided the wattage, which is why we're seeking more information. While you should already have a reliable PSU, we don't yet know the exact model number. He just wanted to double-check this point. Keep in mind, for instance, a high-quality 600-watt PSU from a trusted brand will perform better and be more dependable than a low-cost, misleadingly advertised 1000-watt unit.
But why FPS really counts?
🤔
Even at 40 FPS it’s still manageable, and 60 FPS is even better. Anything beyond that becomes just extra noise.
As Metal Messiah said,
Since the power supply unit controls everything, it stands out as the key part inside a PC. Understanding its brand and model helps you decide if you should upgrade to a new one or not. Don’t jump to conclusions.
Repeatedly, those who only mention wattage often end up with mediocre or low-quality PSUs. Why would anyone share the actual specs when they’re clearly not worth it?
That’s why I started asking about the PSU first. Based on the replies, most people describe it as “decent,” which usually translates to a cheap, low-grade unit.
For example:
* My Skylake build uses Seasonic PRIME 650 (80+ Titanium) [SSR-650TD], the top 650W PSU available in 2016, still performing well today and offering a solid 12-year warranty.
* My Haswell build features Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650 (80+ Titanium) [SSR-650TR], a refined version of the previous model, with a 12-year warranty and top-tier build quality.
* My older AMD build uses Seasonic Focus+ 550 (80+ Platinum), a slight evolution from the PRIME line, still regarded as a reliable PSU with a 10-year warranty.
In addition, my statements in the signature clearly show I own these PSUs, and I have plenty of photos proving it.
I can also reference trusted reviews to back up their quality, though I suspect few would care about those details.
So, definitely avoid skimping on the PSU, and steer clear of used ones either.
Confusion. My phrasing wasn't precise enough. That's not what I meant clearly. Sorry about that.
🙄
It seems the person asking made an assumption earlier. Actually, they thought they already had a high-quality power unit. That's why I was responding to their part, but I also mentioned later that we don't yet know the model number:
OP: "it is a decent one, and bought new maybe half a year ago or so."
