    Well that sounds like a good build except that Threadripper. That's not a processor that's made for gaming/good for gaming. I'd recommend the Ryzen 9 9950X3D for a gaming PC.

    The 7995WX a processor designed for business use, however it will probably run Beam good. Still, $10k USD is a TON.

    50 series is problematic, better wait for another year.

    I'd recommend a 285K system, if you want the fastest system to run beam with tons of AI cars.....you will want an arrow lake system it is far better than any AMD cpu (including the X3D ones)

    If intel sucks why do their CPU's perform better in Beam? I'll wait for your proof that they do, because I have 100's of hours of testing with multiple intel and AMD systems that PROVE intel CPU's are better in beam.

    So I eagerly await your detailed reply with testing and data.....

    Lets see....West coast which is one of the hardest maps.....lets load 40 AI cars and see what happens

    285K Intel CPU 24 Cores



    7945HX3D 16 Core X3D CPU



    10 fps difference.

    How about another map, that's not as hard as west coast, spawn 40 AI cars

    Lowest end 10 core 225 Arrow Lake CPU



    285K 24 Core CPU



    7945HX3D 16 Core 3D Cache CPU



    Even the lowest end intel Arrow Lake CPU has better performance than a 16 Core AMD X3D chip.

    Got any data to prove me wrong?

    I'm not saying that Intel CPUs perform badly. I'm saying Intel as a company sucks. I don't have any data to back this up I just refuse to buy anything from Intel. Also, just a question- Why the 7945HX3D? Why not the 9950X3D?

    Because I wanted to try something a bit different (plus this is a Micro ITX form factor so I can build it in to a really small case. 9950X3D isn't going to give much better performance either.

    You can hate whatever company you want, but when its not based on anything and makes you miss out on the best performance you can get, well I guess that's a you problem

    Interesting comparison:

    Core Ultra 225 (Intel's lowest end Arrow Lake CPU) 10 Cores 10 threads
    VS
    AMD R9 7945HX3D 16 cores 32 threads.



    What makes the 50 series problematic? We are talking about Beam here, so what's so bad about them?

    I have both and 5070 and 5070Ti and haven't had any issues in Beam with either card, and compared to my 4090..........at 4K ultra in Vulkan it gives just as high of playable framerates vs a 4090 so I'm not really seeing the problematic aspect?

    What connector issue. I have 2 4090's and have had them for over a year ZERO issues. So you think that because a handful out of THOUSANDS had an issue that makes them all bad?
    Nah maybe you are just so poor you can't afford to buy high powered graphics cards like the 4090.
    I've got 4 systems in my house, 2 with 4090's 1 with a 5070Ti and the other with a 5070, what do you have? Integrated graphics because you are afraid of a tiny problem that happens to very very few people?

    Funny how my 4090's draw 559w and yet they are doing just fine.....
