    Just upgraded from an i7-6600k to an RX 7800x3D. Obviously a big upgrade no matter if I went AMD or Intel but I’m loving this new CPU. I had an AMD Athlon XP in the early 2000’s that was excellent so I’ve always had a positive feeling towards AMD.

      AMD has had a history of some pretty stellar chips, imo. The fx series just absolutelty sucked and tarnished their reputation for a long time. My Phenom II x6, though? Whew that thing kicked ass.

      I played through mass effect 3 when it was new on a discount AMD laptop with an igpu. Granted it was definitely not on max setting, but it wasn’t with everything turned all the way down either.
