Mixing Amd Processor Nvidia Video Card

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The i7 processor and the Nvidia graphics card makes video editing less painful. The Lenovo Vantage support software is very useful.

The 6800 XT is in a sweet spot right now for 1440 gaming. If you find this card for $520-$560 you will not regret a purchase. The Nvidia 3080 offers essentially the same level of performance but costs approx $200 more. Any 6800 XT is good, but this ASUS model is a slice above the rest. Very well made with better than average cooling. If you want a quiet experience, AMD's Adrenaline software has a push button undervolt setting that works very well with almost no noticeable drop in performance. But this card also overclocks well if you don't mind the fan noise. People complain about AMD drivers, but don't believe the haters. That is a thing of the past. If you are considering a mid-tier card within the next year, this is a great buy right now. You can wait and see if AMD's mid tier next gen (i.e. RX 7600) will be a better proposition, but that might be a year from now. If ray tracing, streaming and some production programs are a priority for you, consider Nvidia, as they do it better, but you will pay more. The 6800 XT can still do ray tracing satisfactorily at 1440p in most games. (For example. I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider at max settings, with ray-traced shadows, and it is solid 60fps). 4K might be pushing it though for ray tracing. Overall a great buy you will be very happy with.

I think the 4070 ti super is the best card of this generation; both from nvidia and AMD. It offers solid 4K performance, AMAZING 1440p performance and OVERKILL for 1080p.

Fast and good for photos and video processing. With the I7 processor and NVIDIA GPU combo, it makes fast work in rendering video. The only con, no CD drive, but can add those via USB.

Great processor. Very fast and smooth. AMD is the best

Apparently Nvidia has a reigon locks on this. I really don't care about this game since the deal I got from B&H on the video card was amazing and will do business again with them.

I love this monitor. I only wish I could afford two of them. I also wish the video card in my laptop NVidia AX4000 could drive at 120hz like my M2 MB Pro. I also use the built in KVM which is awesome too.

A very well built motherboard with all the features needed and more. A great addition alongside Amd 7950x3d and the nvidia 4090. Stellar performance and complements the above components. Easy to update bios and a great bios menu. No issues whatsoever getting this up and running, even with the new x3d chip.

I love this processor. I use it for gaming, 3-D modeling and rendering and I have it paired with an Nvidia RTX 3080 and the 3080 will run at 100-95% load and no CPU bottlenecking no matter what I have done so far.

Caveat: I've only had the processor installed and running for a week. The processor price was retail, the shipping was super quick, and I appreciate that B&H notified me when stock was available as promised and I was able to follow the prompts to order with no issues. Packaging was sufficient and the product box was in perfect shape upon arrival. Installation was easy, I hadn't used an AMD processor before but it simply drops in the slot just like an intel processor. The AIO cooler install was ok, I found it difficult to align perfectly before tightening the screws so it slid around a little bit which isn't ideal for the thermal paste, but not too much... I hope. But it was quick and easy technically. I recall having more annoyances with the intel backplate style install on prior systems. The processor functions perfectly as far as I can tell, and scored very high on UserBenchmark software even relative to the same hardware in other systems. I haven't overclocked anything, and haven't done any real tough workload tasks yet... but so far along with the high end graphics card and storage the PC is insanely fast and snappy. So I think all is as it should be. Played the opening sequence of Star Wars Squadrons and performance was perfectly smooth, though that might be more due to the graphics card. Thanks AMD for the great product, and B&H for the great experience. If anything changes I'll try to update the review here.
