    I am a CAD / CAM designer. I wanna get rid of Nvidia and move to AMD for price/performance. Which motherboard+graphic adapter combo you can suggest me to buy?

    Ryzen 5 2600 with B450 motherboard and Radeon RX580 combo should do you a solid.

    get the biggest best thing in the world for CAD. tell your boss u want one for work.

    just go download Win 10 enterprise and CAD PRO 2019 or whatever it is and tell them you are a developer. YOU ARE.

    does any Kodakolor exist? or whatever it was called. that was the best film ever for years.

    it took them a really long time to take a color photo though.

    I think all of the metals were actually in the film. like silver bronze, etc..

    why even bother with CAD. apparenty Azure can do it a lot easier.

    knowing Bill Gates you probably have to do a lot of typing to get it to work right.

    he still has to approve everything they do. he ain't dead yet.

    why not the Apple products direct from China? they sell the iPhone gabage like a year early from China. then it's Samsung. then a year after that comes AMD and Intel to put them back in their place.

    Apple products have been catching on fire for the entire time it has been a company and they keep selling them like hotcakes,

    buy a giant Firewire riser card and put it your PCI 16 slot or whatever and connect an apple promotional video card to it.

    you better run it off a diesel truck tho. that thing is gonna catch fire. that's what they do at the Utah Data Center though they have containment rooms like a nuclear plant where they test hardware (theory)

    You do CAD / CAM, time is money and you want the best, if the leaks are true or very close to the truth then the 3000 series would be better i would have thought. Wait for the reviews to start coming in, 2000 series will still be in stock and you could get a really great deal on them.

    Ryzen 3000 will have a new X570 chipset which is an AMD inhouse design and not an asmedia one although they may still use asmedia for lower spec chipsets amd usb controllers.
