So now with the recent bios updates and assuming 3200+ RAM, has Ryzenfu closed the gaymen gap compared to the 7700k?

I've been under a rock, so gimme a /quickrundown/. Thinking of finally replacing my 2500k.

>>60847288
Isn't it safe to assume that threadripper will run at a lower clockspeed (worse for gaming) and be priced higher (different class of cpu than 7700k)?
>>
>>60847316
Same instructions per clock, but much lower clock.
>>
>>60847329

You might be right, but the increased number of PCI-e lanes is nice tho, and not being restricted to dual channel memory

>>60847285
7700k is a known housefire, do not overclock goyim.

1700 on the other hand costs less than 300, double the fucking cores and threads which means better multitasking
>>
>>60847285
>has Ryzenfu closed the gaymen gap compared to the 7700k?
As long as you're GPU or refresh rate bottlenecked, you won't have any issues.

7700K still takes the crown if you're CPU bottlenecked. By 10-20 FPS depending on the game.
>>
>>60847366
7700k is a dubious shit chip, runs way too hot and stutters like crazy, Ryzen chip on the otherhand is double the fucking cores, future proof and runs ice cold in comparison

Margin of error differences in averages and less stuttering. Ryzen will only continue to pull away from the 7700k as the platform matures. The 7700k is tapped out while the 1700 has lots of headroom left. Also Ryzen is cheaper (both motherboards and the cpu itself), has a better upgrade path (zen+ and Zen++), and comes with a serviceable stock cooler with some oc headroom.
>>
>>60847401
Is the stuttering real? Is this why 144 fps seems choppy on my rig while 60 feels smooth on my buddy's 2600k rig?

It will be pretty close considering people have already been pushing 2933MHz prior to AGESA 1.0.0.6 and getting rather close to 7700K performances. IF bottlenecked games are actually generally running on "multithreaded" games like Ashes and Hitman, but these games generally pool shared memory assets between CCXs. Some guy showed that on 3600MHz RAM on a 1700X will be behind by 15FPS @ 1080p in general (but the 7700k is @ 5GHz). Some game patches would help greatly, as there are still some outliers like Mafia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GhoYs2VDns

The overclock room on Ryzen is said to be much lower but I find it's not entirely true. Clock speeds are pretty mobile on the 1700 between 3-3.85GHz while pushing 1.3V. At 3.7GHz its single threaded performance (in stuff like Cinebench, Himeno, Dolphin, some Linux benchmarks) becomes competitive with even the 7700K at stock clocks. To avoid degradation AMD states you shouldn't push more than 1.35V. The 1700X/1800X are better binned so you should be able to reach slightly higher clocks at lower voltages, but at around 4GHz-4.05GHz Ryzen can't hold the clock stably without 1.4V+ and hence will draw some 120-150W or even more.

Still suggest the 1700 because the Wraith Spire is decent. I have a B350 board so I can't directly attest to higher memory frequencies but it runs great as my workstation driver.

>>60848083
As far as Siliconlottery tested, the 1700X was barely any better at overclocking than the 1700, and the 1800X is so well binned that there's almost no variance between them and they all overclock to ~4.1GHz.
>>
>>60848225
I have a 1700X.
It's better in multicore, but I play counter strike.
>>
>>60847285
In a completely sterile environment the 7700k (as of right now) will always beat Ryzen chips in games. The thing is, once you start accounting for normal uses, like having a handful of processes running in the background/foreground 2nd monitor like VOIP chats, web browsers, etc, the gap gets really, really narrow. This is where the 7700k will start to stutter and where a r7 1700's double the threads can be leveraged.

No, it doesn't. It's more like $400. AMD told us they had cut prices of Ryzen but in Europe prices went up.

>>60848335
So what?

The real stupidity is posting gaming results for CPUs in the first place.

Yeah, people do game on a GTX 970 so the results are valid enough if you're going to benchmark CPUs in gaming. But they aren't going to buy a high-end AMD or Intel CPU for gaming and use a GTX 970. But they are also not going to buy a 1080ti and play on shitty 1080p resolution - and again we get whining about the results being bottlenecked by the GPU at 4k.
>>
>>60848083
I thought AMD stated that degradation didn't start until vcore was pushed to around 1.45V for extended periods of time.
>>
>>60848463
This.
>>
>>60847329
clockspeed should be about the same. after all threadripper is just 2 ryzen 7s on the same die
>>
>>60847285
The ONLY reason there would be to get the 7700k would simply be if you're looking to game at 120+ fps. Ryzen will easily do 60-80fpa at 1080p and the gap really narrows once you up the resolution and you become less CPU bound. At 1440p and 2160p the difference between them is negligible.

Then you have to look at the pros and cons of each chip. Ryzen has more cores and threads and tends to give a smoother gameplay experience than a 4c/8t i7. The 7700k like most newer i7's have no fluxless solder under the lid. They're using garbage thermal paste. Reports have shown high temperature spikes and occasionally throttling. Then you have to take into consideration my motherboard prices for properly overclock the i7. Where as any run of the mill B350 am4 motherboard is capable of handling a decent OC on any Ryzen chip.

Per Agner Fog's microarch guide, Zen actually has higher throughput/IPC than Skylake (5 IPC instead of 4 IPC). The high IPC is also why SMT works better than Intel's implementation.

To what end?

Worse for gaming, to what end?
What are you trying to achieve, exactly, while gaming? 144FPS? 200FPS? Low settings at 720P?
Ryzen and by association the potentially lower clocked Thread Ripper is worse for gaming only if you're running games at shit settings or pair it with extremely powerful graphics cards that allow you to play at extreme frame rates like 144FPS.
Below 100-120 FPS it makes very little difference whether you get a 3.5GHz Ryzen, a 4GHz Ryzen, or a 5GHz i7 7700k. Because you're never going to be affected by the supposed single core bottleneck and the only bottleneck that could potentially affect you is a multi-core one. Even then, you're better off getting a FreeSync or G-Sync monitor than worrying about trying to keep a stable 120 or 144FPS.

First of all, you should charge your phone as it looks like it's about to run out of battery.

Secondly, that screenshot you posted clearly shows that the i7-7700K is about the same price as the Ryzen 7 1700.

None of those are cheap, they are equally expensive. AMD and Intel are milking their duopoly while pretending to compete.

Put it this way. MOST people don't overclock their 7700K's by much and certainly not to 5Ghz without delidding and very good cooling.

At stock Ryzen can match it and even with a mild overclock on the 7700K it can be very close or even faster in some newer game titles. Ryzen has better future proofing basically and you get more for your money in other tasks than gaming. Also TR will be too expensive for most people.

The Ryzen 1800X was aimed squarely at the 6900K a MULTI core processor that was twice as expensive. It was never aimed at beating a single core optimized processor like the 7700K. It was not aimed 'specifically' at high end gamers. It is meant to be a processor that covers a multitude of uses and scenarios. It does pretty good at gaming but it is not made intentionally to win the 'gaymen' trophy.

Only Intel shills tout the 7700K as better than Ryzen based 'solely' on gaming. In other words they have nothing else to use as an argument and are butthurt children.

7700K has severe voltage regulation problems and random heat spikes to 100C for no reason.

Ryzen has low clock speeds and a hard frequency wall barely over 4GHZ.

ASUS showed off a "5GHZ" readout on a Threadripper board though.

If Threadripper can OC to 5GHZ it will be a fucking monster.

Rysen is RAM dependent to a degree but the performance gap between the Ryzen and a 7700K is only noticeable on 144hz and only then under certain conditions.

You only get these benefits when the 7700K is OC'ed to 4.9-5.1ghz and intel has already confessed that most chips should not be overclocked to that level for long periods. In order to even keep this shit stable you need a good water loop and have to spend extra coin on a Z-series motherboard.

The performance difference under those conditions is usually 7-9fps so you get 141fps on the 7700k instead of 132-134fps

Also this performance goes out the window when games utilize ryzens extra threads properly. you only get this in poorly coded single thread heavy game engines.

Rise of the tomb raider got patched and 6-8core ryzens have completely closed the gap with the 7700k. Also when tested those ryzen chips are usually running 35-40% so they still have headroom for an even stronger graphics card than the 1080ti.


Ryzen is better. Unless you are a hardcore FPS player with the latest 240hz monitor you have no reason to get the 7700k over an 8 core ryzen

and in the midrange its even worse for intel. They have their piece of shit 4c/4t i5 chips at the same price point as the 6c/12 ryzen 5 chips you would have to legitimately pants on head retarded to buy an i5 over that processor.

The 6-core ryzen is the new standard and the 4-core/8thread ryzen is a viable budget alternative for 1080p over the pentium/i3

This is forcing Intel to put 6-core chips in the mainstream lineup next generation. Now I fully expect a 6-core i7 to match and beat out the ryzen chips but that wont happen until either the end of this year or start of 2018

There are a few simulator games at the man single core performance, these games are also ones that people typically put thousands of hours into if they get really into it. These very few games are the only ones I could ever recommend a 7700 K to. For everything else Ryzen is more than capable of pushing your monitor to its refreshment, and when the developers aren't absolute shit making games that's the case.
>>
>>60849039
>>60849077
Ryzen according to the papers I've read could pull ahead of the 7700 K by as much as 20% at equal clocks for single core performance. However there are other bottlenecks in the CPU that I don't think will be alleviated by the time the Ryzen 2 comes out, and by that point AMD will be higher single thread performance then Intel, now if AMD clocks hired that's 100% up in the air, it's very well possible Ryzen 2 will do that, but it's also equally possible that the process is just not there when it initially lands.
>>
>>60849464
Better for games is a very relative metric.

I personally have a web browser on in the background I have a bunch of processes that constantly demand a little bit of attention running an unusually talking to friends either through voice chat or through video chat. Each one of those processes on its own would be detrimental to a quad core when you're playing a quad core game, but had them all together and you now have the CPU that's hitting 100% utilization and gameplay feels like shit because of it.

The extra headroom that 6 cores gives you was the main reason that you would buy an Intel 6 core CPU, however justifying an extra $300-$400 for motherboard and CPU included that was difficult for most people, so they settled for the 4 core. AMD said go fuck yourself and tell them put out an 8 core at quad core prices, and AMD CPU has next to no downside to using it over and Intel CPU outside of clock speed. It's really hard to justify the Intel for gaming even if it's better at gaming because you're never going to just be gaming.

Sure, you won't get the very highest settings, but if you are playing at that framerate, the highest details don't really matter to you anyway as you'll be playing a fast paced game.
In fact, you he even try to lower settings without necessity to see your enemies better.

>Rysen is RAM dependent to a degree
Actually both 7700K and Ryzen are RAM dependent, but Ryzen has higher memory latency in general because IF connects the memory controller and the uncore, and since IF is clocked 2:1 to memory controller (supposedly 4:1 for Threadripper) the performance delta is very exaggerated when running slower RAM.

>Also this performance goes out the window when games utilize ryzens extra threads properly.
Threaded game engines actually don't benefit Ryzen because game engines include lots of code which requires shared memory pools over both CCXs which causes you to directly run into the aforementioned problem. That being said, some slight tweaks (as shown by many game patches) show that a lot of the issues come from software, not an inherent deficiency in Ryzen although there certainly are weaknesses in Ryzen.

There's no point in getting an i5 nor an i3 and I would also argue the i7 is losing meaning since most people at that end purchase higher resolution. Intel only wins with the Pentium and laptop industry, which are both huge areas that needs to be developed for AMD.

I don't intend to upgrade after this for quite a while, so i imagine its best to go with the 1700x, but for the almost purely gaming uses i plan on doing, the 7700k is what i've always seen recommended.

I am having a dilemma, I have two builds that I can go for that are within my dollarydoo range. Both are identical except: One has a Ryzen 1700 with a 1080ti and the other has a 7700k with a 1070 in it. Considering its mostly gayming which should I go for?
>>
>>60854925
Personally I'd go for the 1700 and 1080Ti because you'd be getting the stronger GPU and have an upgrade path for the CPU.

Because Ryzen can do 60hz@1080p, 60hz@1440p probably 60hz@4k?

>Stop talking out your ass. The hardware and software don't just magically get better over time; there's a limit to the improvements that little tweaks can gain for this platform
In software that properly utilises all the cores a stock 1700 uses a 5ghz oc'd delidlake as a cock sock.
>Stop talking out your ass.
ALL of the 7700k's resources are being used in current games. The same can not be said for the 1700. Optimization can see huge performance uplifts on Ryzen (refer to ROTTR). Not to mention games will start using more threads as both Intel and AMD adopt more cores.
>So you have a crystal ball to see the future and you spend your time on an anonymous Burmese shadow puppet forum instead of buying stocks?
AMD themselves said that the AM4 socket will see continued support for the next 2 gens. On the other hand Intel's 1151 is a dead platform.

>So... they both the same in this regard?
The 7700k does not come with a stock cooler and even when Intel does provide a stock cooler there is no OC headroom to speak of.

alright, I'm guessing we are arguing two different things then. My original statement was a bit terse and misleading as well. I'm saying with a properly coded and implemented api that you'll have low enough overhead that the difference between 60fps and 120fps will be negligible on cpu usage, while you are saying that cpu usage scales higher with higher frames and I can't disagree with that because you're right.
>>
People forgot that benchmarks are only valid if done in a realistic setting.

Realistically, people play games with other applications open and running in the background. 8 cores can handle it well, 4 just choke under the pressure and performance is degraded and stutter.

Everyone have been designing and running benchmarks to compare intel against itself since there was no competition in the market for the last few years.

There is that and heavy handed marketing from Intel, every youtubers get handed tons of free equipment from them, how can they refuse ?
>>
>>60855729
>difference between 60fps and 120fps will be negligible
Depends on what you mean by "negligable", but it's going to be something very close to 2×.

If you mean that CPU usage is generally so low that it just doesn't matter, I would at least not say that with such certainty. Sure, most modern games are mostly GPU-bound, but that doesn't mean that CPU performance is so low that it hardly even matters. You wouldn't run a modern game on an FX CPU.

Yes, especially if you don't oc. They are the same chips with different binning and the 1600x has better binning than the 1700. 1600x binning = 1800x.

The difference when both are overclocked is 3.8ghz 1700 8c vs 4.0ghz 1600x 6c.

7700k is better at high framerate games. I'm talking around 120 and 144 FPS. CPU becomes a bottleneck at these high framerates. 4k at 60 FPS an i5 or Ryzen can handle that no problem

This isn't fucking true at all. Intel's current overclockable i7 has been $330-$340 and its overclockable i5 has been $240 since Sandy fucking Bridge, at least in the first world.

Any variation on this pricing is just a reflection of your country's shitty economy and/or import taxes.

In Europe, the tax is always already part of the price and doesn't need to be added. The ~300€ are with tax already included.

What the fuck? I'm just responding with a guess as to why >>60856406 made some post claiming high end CPUs start at $400 when they clearly don't.

I mean, you even have a bunch of people agreeing and blaming the lack of competition or strange happenings in China (or Africa lmao ok kid) on the "price hikes" so I'm to assume all of these people are paying $400+ for their i7s since myself and >>60856406 are the only ones disagreeing with him.

1151 is dead socket. New mainstream cpus coming in late 2017/2018 will be on new socket, so 7700k will be the top CPU you can use in that platform. AM4 will have ryzen2 in year and half build on some 10nm process (99% not glofo) and probably be able to hit more than 4ghz. I have now good enough i7, but if was on the market for CPU I will get some middle of the road x370 (pls don't get B350) and r7 1700. Clock it with stock cooler on 3.7 all 1700 can hit that speed on 1.25-1.3 and leave it. In 18 months see if you like or not the ryzen refresh and jump.

Like I said at >>60857249, I'm just responding to someone that I'm assuming is European complaining about high end CPUs costing 400 USD, which is obviously not the case in the United States.

Your statement that taxes exist everywhere is an oversimplification because obviously Europeans are paying more taxes than Americans on tech merchandise, which is what the scope of this discussion is about. If they weren't, there wouldn't be so many fucking Europeans complaining about this issue every time relative prices come up. Calling me /pol/ or a kid or whatever is just shooting the messenger, all the proof you need that Europeans are paying more than Americans for tech merch is staring you in the face in this thread.
