  • OK, so I am starting over with my PC list, some of you will remember I asked a lot of about a custom PC before Christmas, but I managed to make do with my laptop and I didn't actually have time to do a lot of power hungry stuff over the last 6 months anyway, but I now really do need a super duper PC asap...

    I have a pretty good idea what I want, 2 questions here:

    Is there any real world disadvantage / incompatibility to use AMD CPU with Nvidia GPU? I know crossfire wouldn't be possible, but I have moved on from wanting to use 2 GPUs, so that wouldn't be a problem for a long time to come, if ever,

    Initially, I had my heart set on the Intel i9 with a nice Nvidia card or to go AMD through and through...

    However, the new AMD Ryzen 9 3900X is beautiful and cheaper... and after much research into graphics cards with 3D software, Nvidia is the way to go with the renderers I intend to use, so as much as I think AMD is good, I don't really have a choice with what brand of GPU to go with...

    Also, I can't make head or tail of these motherboards...

  • The X570 boards will fully support the PCI Express 4.0 that the Ryzen 9 uses.

    The X470 won't.

    There will be cheaper B570 Boards at some point if you are will to wait/not get all the nice goodies.
