Why is the 1700x 1080p benchmarks better than the 1800x?
Also, as far as 1080p goes - people still use and prefer it over 1440p. I'd rather have a very noticeable increase in frames (thus taking advantage of a high refresh rate) over a slightly sharper picture. Of course, if you're running a $800+ gpu and hit 144+ fps in current/next gen games anyway, then yeah 1440p is a no brainer. Me - I typically buy a gtx 1070 tier card every/every other generation.
It's not better. The 1800x can overclock maybe 100-200mhz higher right now. The reason they chose the 1700 for the test is because it is the same price point as the 7700k.
Those are the most recent tests that show faster ram speed = better ryzen performance. All the initial testing was done with 2166mhz ram. Can't wait for motherboard manufacturers to get their shit together and add support for 4000mhz+
