The Proart and Taichi Mobos are going hard on this gold/black design I think they’d be a perfect match for Zotac 50 series GPUs.
Is Zotac a good GPU??
It’s very true.
I’m currently in the process of converting an old 8th gen gaming PC into a home server. It is lovely - 3 x16 slots (which I’ll be running in x8/x8/x4) and 2 x1 slots. All gen 3, but that was the best at the time. So I can easily fit a GPU, an old x8 HBA controller for extra drives, and still have a x4 for better networking and 2 x1 slots free for anything else that takes my fancy.
I fear these new boards might be less suitable for re-use, once the CPU is no longer suitable for gaming? I know you can get x16/x1/x4 pretty commonly… but I’d still need to replace my old HBA…

Never had a problem with mine. I had 3 cards from them in the studio at some point.

That’s no motherboard…it’s a space station!

I started ordering the first component. Mainboard and Graphics card availability is a little scarce…

What’s the plan? Full AMD or go with our overpriced green AI overlords?

Haven’t decided yet. I want to see how 5070Ti prices and availability unfold. Also I’m keeping an eye on the 4000 generation.
I actually don’t need that much horsepower as I play pancake in 1080p. Might as well get a 4070 Ti and upgrade later.

In that case I would go 9800X3D and AMD card. You really don’t need much for DCS in 1080p
Yes 9800x3d is set. Only need a MoBo that is actually available.
What would be your recommendation for an AMD card. I had one 15 years ago which had driver issues and died a heat death. Since then I was Team Green and never looked back.
For 1080p a 7800XT or even a 7700XT should be more than enough, even overkill, but the 7800XT leaves the option to upgrade the monitor. A buddy has a 7900XTX and he’s very happy playing in VR on a Rift S though there still seem to be a few issues with VR support sometimes. The driver issues are generally a thing of the past though. It’s been pretty good since the 6000 series cards from what I’ve heard.

I have a 6800 XT and no driver issues since two years. Adrenalin is nice.
Depending on budget I‘d go for 7900 XT which is ~700€ in Germany. It has the same TDP as the 6800 XT, 320 Watt. The brand named XFX makes great metal housings.
7800 XT is 200€ less. 7900 XTX is 200€ more.

I thought the 7900XTX’ VR performance was below 6900XT? When did they fix the latency issues?

Not sure, he got it for a very good price and is playing on a pretty low resolution headset so maybe it’s not that big of an issue for him. I’d have to ask.

Some more VR CPU benchmarks. Not a very demanding scenario to be sure but the 9800X3D is looking superb here
The 3600X should be fairly close to your 3700X in terms of performance @Rapier
