I wonder how bad an core i 3 4160 would bottleneck with a gtx 1080
Just got an r7 1700x for 240€/$ 🙂 vs 420€/$ for an i7 8700k
So I’m currently watching youtube, have fallout shelter open, have google docs and miscellaneous windows open filling up 3 monitors, and I’m running an Ubuntu virtual machine. Does that count as multitasking?
nice video. on spot
really wanna see you de-lid a potato chip, you can eat it much faster so you miss less commentary overall whilst sacrificing some noise levels.
<3
This video is fucking amazing.
But we all know my 2500k is the best…
RIP my 7700K
Looking forward to 2018-2019 The PC market is starting to get interesting again. Great Video Steve!
…and dont call him “TECH JESUS” please…
My is my cpu getting a better fps avg at max settings than your graph? Honest question
the 1700 has to be my bang for buck cpu this year. £270 for near 1800x performance its done well for me 😀
6:20 Then you might as well get an i5 2500k, which is just above it. For $70-80 I’m sure you’ll get the motherboard too, and they’ll probably throw in the PSU or PC case for free.
i am mostly gaming and a bit recording
i7 7820x vs i7 8700k
Thanks for the clarification at 9:23. No gigantic tirade, but still, the category name “Biggest Upset” I’d say is really unfortunate because of being clearly misleading. Noone would immediately associate that “upsetting” with the incumbent as opposed to with the consumer. So I’d suggest renaming this category. Maybe “Most Market-Disrupting CPU” or something along those lines, but better change this name from Biggest Upset which does not do proper justice to the winner
Nice One!
Chrome and Discord. Pfff.More Firefox and Teamspeak;)
7820x could deff get an award in the hedt category. Its deff a beast of a cpu
I don’t regret my purchase of an 1800x for $370. I love this CPU. It hit’s 4.2 from time to time under load, and hits 4.1 constantly. Runs great at 2.2GHz too, so I’m running very efficient too. Ryzen was a great product and I’ll upgrade at the end of the run, maybe Zen 3. Right now there’s no reason for me.
Another good detailed video Steve, with loads of info.
The kinda stuff that makes u go hmmmm! lol
Keep it up!
You Guys are the best in the Biz’
A good video but i don’t agree with anything but i still give you a like. Still rocking my $350 Xeon 2666@10/20@3.5 Ghz,
Ryzen 1600x right here
Also the 1700x n the 1800x which I just got for 270$ from some guy needed cash . Brand. New. The post didn’t even last 2mins n I bought right away .now hopefully it arrive dis week 🙂 .can’t wait
A question to everybody who owns a Ryzen CPU. Do you boycott a game like Destiny2 if the game is poorly optimized for Ryzen? I do, I am curious how you guys look at it.
Any news on h370 or b360
I think the Intel V AMD mindset is a spinoff of the same crap thats going on in the political arena…
The “It’s MY team versus YOUR team” bullcrap is healthy in small amounts of course, but some of these kids are taking it to the extreme…
I want to build a threadripper build so bad! Thanks for posting.
must commend you on the quality of your videos always look 60fps plus and very smooth keep it up
i stopped the video at the 7960x “award”
We need a CES meet up.
