Cinebench 2026

Nope just play around with computers. Build them test them and sell them. 225 is on a B860 MB so no overclocking. Only ram OC. I've found the best performance at 7200c34 the way I have it right now.

I mainly built these 3 systems to test out how "bad" the intel CPUs were (225 and 285k) vs the 9800x3d. And yes with a 5090 i could tell differences and poverty spec resolutions. Higher resolution 1440p and above. Not so much, and with a lower end gpu like a 5060ti not much difference at all.

****, I really envy you. I could never build a PC and get it to sell at higher than my cost price. I just have a bad curse that prevents me from being a business person.

I've so far sold a brand new Zotac 3060 Ti for only a $12 profit.
Opened but unused 3060 Ti FE and PNY 3080 10GB traded for a sparingly used M1 Macbook Air and $92 in cash so a significant loss (I was disgusted with their low VRAM capacity).
Pretty frequently used Gigabyte AORUS 6800 XT for again about $12 profit. The LED display on it helped sell it to a kid.

I'm stuck with an unopened ASUS LC 6800 XT. Stupid neanderthals want it for $300 or less while my cost price was over $600.

Also stuck with a 12700K and ASROCK Sonic mobo that no one wants to pay decent money for.
 
Oh I generally don't make a profit, did on my 5090 but that's not a normal thing. It's a hobby if I lose some money no big deal, but given the ram prices now im sure I could make a bit. My 9800x3d system I've got for sale, but it's complete in a case sans gpu, so likely only a local sale, as shipping large things like that is a pain in the ***
 
Just for fun I thought I would run R26 while playing one of my favorite games (and benchmark it a bunch)

Going from 10400 down to 6500 is a big drop, but I was able to play my game with a ton of vehicles spawned no problem.
(fps is at 30 since the window was out of focus, it was around 80fps)

That's a valid use case. Not everyone wants to leave and do something else while the rendering job completes. And it's definitely cheaper than having to do it on a dedicated gaming rig.

Clever thing that guy did to bypass AVX2 requirement. Just run it under MacOS!
