Budget Configuration Gaming Configuration Extra Configuration Assembla che Passa is a weekly column that collects the main novelties related to PC gaming hardware and offers three configurations, divided by price range, designed for those who want to assemble or update your machine. As usual, suggestions are welcome and corrections welcome, as long as the tones are adequate. Another tip is to read the paragraphs that present the configurations before battling in the comments.

Also this week we were bombarded with rumors about new generation video cards, those destined to take us to a new generation that for now we have just sniffed, thanks to the first ray tracing implementations related to GeForce RTX. But with the arrival of new consoles equipped with technology dedicated to realistic lighting, on paper also capable of exploiting the enormous achievements achieved in recent years in terms of traditional lighting and number of polygons, a leap for the entire sector is expected, with the evolution supported also by development tools which should also allow independent teams to touch new goals in the graphic rendering. Made probably destined to touch the peak on our PC which, pushing all the new technologies on one side and freeing itself from the ballast of the consoles of the current generation on the other, could be able to finally bring photorealism closer.

This is an important milestone and saw that bridging the gap with film in terms of the credibility of the actors, expressions, and situations, could bring to the games budget a public, so far, remained linked to the traditional media. It is therefore not surprising that NVIDIA and AMD, with the first, who apparently has stopped the production of the GeForce, they should prepare to ride a wave that could significantly increase sales of the GPU from the game, apparently intended for a leap forward of 50 percentage points without calling in because NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FidelityFX CAS and technologies for acceleration of ray tracing that could recur in a different form, at least on NVIDIA cards.

The current GeForce RTX use of the core specialized for the ray tracing to handle the millions of rays which is necessary to give life to the highlights, shadows, and reflections are physically accurate. Instead, on the PCB of the GeForce RTX 3080 and 3080 Will, according to a rumor, there might be space for a co-processor, cross-sectional, which is a chip dedicated entirely to ray tracing that could push this technology to new heights. To say it is the portal Coreteks that connects this indiscretion on the particular system of dissipation which should characterize the Founders Edition of the high-end of the series 3000, by cooling both sides of the card. The reason for this particular setting, according to Coreteks, it would be linked to the need to cool two chips differ, both subjected to important efforts. Among other things, the choice of using a co-processor on the solutions top of the range, would allow for the detachment in terms of ray tracing from a GeForce RTX 3060 that with a performance increase of 50% would enjoy similar performance, and presumably higher, thanks to the new architecture, Amps, and a GeForce RTX 2080 You.

But the choice of a dedicated chip could also have been necessary to hold off an AMD that is in the process of implementing ray tracing on the console could have made a lot of experience in this field, also thanks to the help of Microsoft and developers who are all working on the new console. Among other things, according to some of the high fuel consumption of the NVIDIA GPU, according to a rumor recently that required even a new connector to 12-pin, would confirm the need for the company to stem the GPU SHIPS 2X, whose flagship, according to how much stress the different sources, which would be from 40 to 50% of the performance of a GeForce RTX 2080 You. From here the need to do so that the 3080 can guarantee You a jump even larger than the current flagship of NVIDIA, touching the peaks of the 70's and perhaps even 90%, going but to push the total consumption of the card up to over 300W. But we hope that this particular rumor is exaggerated, even coming from sources that are usually reliable, but that not having the complete picture can be without a doubt wrong.

the Official, however, the date of September for the next great revelation of Intel that will probably finally a face to the technology that has timidly shown during the CES 2020 in Las Vegas. Let's talk about processors mobile Tiger Lake and of graphics solutions Intel Xe, from the laptop to get it up to the video cards discrete for high-end PCS, they promise to give us great things in the next two years. But it also speaks of new connectivity solutions and other novelties for an event that hardly push on the power of graphics solutions. On the other hand it is a date close to the most likely presentation of the new series of GeForce cards and the new Radeon, the giants from dodge for a company that, while great in the CPU market is still in its infancy in that of the GPU.

Set a Budget

The configuration budget is aimed at saving but it is said that there is no space for the upgrade where you have interesting perspectives. The proposals in this band include solutions designed for the games at a low technical profile and build oriented to 1080p.

The Ryzen 3 3100, which is available for around 120 euro, it is more convenient 3300X, and while suffering from the two core in less than Ryzen 5 2600, however, an excellent option 135 euros, surpasses significantly single core, to leave it to the pole once you have pushed the clock can gain several mhz is also taking advantage of the heat sink is integrated.

Still able to cope with 1080p, so as to turn Death Stranding at 60fps, the Radeon RX 570 4GB keeps the crown of the video card more convenient. Of course, the amount of memory limits the longevity, but there are still many titles that use more than 4GB in 1080p.

Configuration Gaming

In the end gaming usually are those components that allow you to tackle the game on a PC without fear and to hold on for some time. The yield of the accounts with the frame rate is just around the corner, but with a good base, you can always sell the GPU is old before it depreciates in value too, so buy a new battery, just in time to tackle the next blockbuster video game breaks the hardware.

The Ryzen 5 3600 reappears in the mid-range, where it can say its thank you to an excellent ratio between price and performance seasoned by the good margins for overclocking. This week, however, the combine it with a motherboard with chipset B550 that includes partial support for the PCIe interface 4.0, and offers some guarantee about compatibility with future processors Ryzen 4000.

With the arrival of Death Strading the GeForce RTX 2060 has entered the world of 4K with a game of the last generation, of course, thanks to the DLSS 2.0 of the NVIDIA. It therefore deserves a place in the configuration of this week, slightly more expensive but also more versatile and long-lived.

Extra Configuration

The configuration push has a meaning only for the one who aims at high resolutions, aware that luxury often does not go hand-in-hand with rationality. On the other hand, let's face it, who does not like to have a nice engine under the hood even if there is to adhere to the speed limit?

This week the place in the summit returns to the Core i7-10700K that, after a marked decline, it is more convenient and more manageable for the Core i9-10900K in addition to ensuring the maximum framerate, or almost, in games that favor the frequencies and the Intel Core processors.
