i hope it does as good as you hope odio, competition is a great thing.

wheres the 7700k vs 1700 framerates in various games, have they done that yet? my money is still on intel

I'm working on one. Close to 20 games and a couple work load apps. So far I am having mixed results.
GTA, RotTR, Overwatch, WoW, and 7zip saw a decent improvement (up to 20% in some games.)
Witcher 3, CS GO, and Blender didn't see much at all.
I'm hoping to be done by Tuesday or Wednesday but I am benchmarking a ton of games and it's taking a long time.
This was going from 2133-3200mhz.
Even with the games that didn't gain all that much, there was still a slight gain. So memory for sure makes a difference so crank those speeds up everyone.

The only thing that is holding me off right now is that I don't know which motherboard to buy. There's a shortage for the ones that aren't garbage, and the rest are garbage. The ones that aren't garbage are still garbage because they can't even properly load XMP profiles. So the only way to get 3200mhz+ ram is to overclock the blck.

it looks like the cheaper ryzen 5 chips are beating i3/i5
but i7s are still beating ryzen 7 in that vid

or is this video premature

Premature. They got those results by just disabling cores/threads of 1800x in the bios. The ram isn't even 3200mhz.


Real R5s have only been floating around the past 2-3 days. Some shops in South America got them early. Doesn't officially launch until April 11.


Unfortunately, Brazilians are just as bad at configuring computers as they are at playing computer games, so numbers based on properly built systems are probably still 3 weeks away.

I PULLED THE TRIGGER.

Almost done I guess. Probably going to swap out the M.2 SATA for an M.2 NVMe and install Windows 10 on it.

avg fps is a poor metric for performance.
look at variance in fps not just a block average. ryzen might average well, but it spends quite a bit of time rendering high latency frames. its not as good as intel for gaming.

20 day old information is no longer valid. 5 day old information isn't even good. So the opinions based on obsolete facts are invalid.

just buy a ****ing computer already

quite happy with my build. looks similar to what you got.

I CAN'T!

I'm literally going to buy everything else first. So then when I am sitting here with 1440p G-sync 165hz monitor, and Corsair K70, and Zowie mouse and the most ergonomic office chair in the world.


Then i'll be like god damn, my computer is a piece of ****. I really need to upgrade this thing. GTX960 not going to be able to push 165hz G-sync at 1440p imo. This means my upgrade will happen sooner than later. I can't upgrade anything else in this PC, except maybe newer SATA SSD. Other than that, It is at 110%.

ur ssd and gpu blow mine away but I'm stoked with it so far

I bet his monitor costs more than $40 too :P

suck it odio

Odio too busy Theory crafting about Ryzen being the best ever to actually spend his money on it.

he's chasing the bleeding edge of virtual reality waifu

If you know of a more accurate means of measurement, I'm open to suggestions.
