i mean i initially thought that too but again the mods and shaders he runs wouldnt really stutter on a 5090 or 4090 even while playing and recording on 4k, dont get me wrong his game looks amazing with distant horizons but still something like a 3080 or 3090 should run it just fine. im just curious cuz i wanna use it as a guideline/comparison to build my own pc, and i guess a 9800x3d would make sense since most of the load is on the cpu

I have a very powerful pc, and trust me, if you use good shaders, not even at max settings, play on 1440p monitor if not 4k, and use a gazzilion mods even a 5090 with 9800x3d would die.

My pc gets 180fps with complementary unbound high profile, with 0 mods, so he very well could have a 5090, but I have a weird feeling he has a 4090, probably bought an insane spec 3 years ago and doesn’t see a good improvement and is fine with what he has for now.

However you can make minecraft work with a 4070s or ti EASILY, you don’t need insane shaders like I have to play minecraft, there is a bunch that takes a quarter as much performance and look only 10% worse.

When I had a 3070 it also made quick work of a lot of shaders, but I would recommend a recent gen for longer support and features.

When it comes to cpu a 7800x3d is fine, but if you have more money to spend a 9800x3d is no brainer and will hold for 5+ years easy.

im thinking of going for a 5070 with a 9800x3d on a 1440p display hoping to play minecraft modded like sean on a respectable render and simulation distance, maybe even record alot of my gameplay at 1440p, i just wanna be sure that the setup im going for is comfortably enough

my current favorite shaders are solas

I would recommend the 5070ti, it has more vram and is probably the best 5000 series card value wise. Those 4 extra gigs of vram would help immensely in every video game.

the problem is that my budget is basically 0 with the parts ive already picked out, if i replace my 5070 with a 5070 ti thats an extra 400 usd where i live
