If you own a old second gen i5 with a 1070 and 144hz gsync monitor, is it wiser to get a ryzen 1700 or a 7700k? Strictly for gaming.

Hi somebody from the future told me Zen 2 will be AMD's Sandybridge, is it true??

If you own a 144hz monitor with a modern gpu, but it is being terribly bottlenecked in the rear end by a lovely second gen i5 and wanna upgrade, would it be smarter to just get a 7700K or a Ryzen 1600/1700 and then upgrade to a zen 2 in like 2 years? Assuming of course that you won't need to change socket.

What are the chances that Ryzen 2 will get substantially better with more IPC, higher clock speeds, etc and will make i5 8400 early purchasers regret their decision?

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
But aren't its 8 jaguar cpu cores garbage? I think the Destiny 2 devs said it horribly bottlenecked the gpu.

I'm aware that Ryzen refresh is coming in April, but when is it likely we'll get some benchmarks/leaks, etc?

I was thinking of getting a i7 8700 non-k, but with the crazy ram prices and now this Meltdown crap I just might wait for Zen+. Hope it's worth it!

Is it likely that pinnacle will oc to 4.5 or that's just a wet dream and 4.3 is more realistic?

The lower latency of zen+ should greatly help with videogames fps, wait for gaming benchmarks.

WTF happened in Anandtech's review? Those numbers must be very off, I seriously doubt the meltdown and spectre patches affect gaming with Intel that much.

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
So has there been an explanation for why the AnandTech benchmarks gave like a +30% Ryzen 2 gaming advantage over Intel? Some say Intel's security patches lowered performance, others say it was something with RAM speeds running at the minimum supported for each platform. My uncle that works at AMD says they accidentally sent a ZEN 7nm sample.

Realistically speaking though I wouldn't be shocked if Intel uses the same dirty tricks that they used in the P4 days to keep AMD sales down.
But it'll be the year 2019 and info moves way faster than in early 2000's, look at what happened to Nvidia GeForce Partner Program due to all the exposure and nerds crying.

I know Zen 2 is coming in the next 6 months, but if you want to game at 144hz/play single threaded dependent games like most mmrpgs or old ones like Starcraft 2, would it be wiser to just get a 9600k now instead of Ryzen? I know it's probably bad value due to low threads, but still...

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
I decided to get a 2600x and just wait 3600x out instead of getting a 9600k. What's a couple good mobo recommendations that might serve me well even further until 2020 for Ryzen 3?

Too early to tell but one thing to keep in mind is that the memory controller of Zen 2 is on a different Die than the cores which could hurt latencies compared to the old single-die ringbus architecture.
Old single thread games at high FPS tend to scale well with low latencies, so I would not infer identical gaming performance results from identical cinebench runs.
The 6/6 9600k isn't great though, 8700k/9700k/9900k would make more sense now.
So latencies are going up no matter what? AMD isn't implementing something to counter that?

I just want Starcraft 2 to not lag during big battles but that will probably never happen until like quantum cpus with ddr10.

Quick question regarding cache: The 9900K has 16MB of cache while the Ryzen 9 3900X has gently caress you 70MB... does cache make a significant difference for gaming?

I just want to see the difference in gaming between the 3700x and the 3800x, loving independent benchmarks can't come soon enough.

I'm ready to be disappointed by AMD "Gamecache" again.

Will buy a 3700x regardless.

Sorry I'm a noob with all this ram nonsense, what's better: 3200 cl16 or 3600 cl17?

Aug 23, 2004
So they're saying there's some funky stuff going on with the driver bios/scheduler that's gimping gaming performance.

Should I get 3600 or 9700k for gaming?

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
So I should just get a 3600 instead of 9700k and use the saved up money to get a bigger ssd/better gpu etc?

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
How much would you normally spend on a cooler, just to make the 3600 vs 9700k comparison better?

Hi I have a gtx 1070 and a lovely nephalem i5 should i get the 9700k which costs 420usd in my third world country or a ryzen 3600 which is around 230usd?

Aug 23, 2004
Hi do I get a 3600 or a 10600k? Only for gaming at 1080p 144hz.

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
Hey AMD, I'll give you 1 month to leak something from Zen 3, if not I will just get a 10600kf and move on with my life.

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
poo poo is expensive in my third world country, plus sometimes the wait is more exciting. If I could go back in time I'd grab a 8700K when it was cheap and the US dollar was weak. gently caress my life.

I hope they do that ccx crap they did with 3300x to improve gaming perf

Otakufag
Aug 23, 2004
I believe Zen 3 will still be slower than Intel at playing games like Starcraft 2 and Farcry 5, but only like 5% slower and better at everything else. Oh and emulators like RPCS3 with Intel instruction sets, but that's more of job for software developers to optimize.

At least did they increase the IF clock or some poo poo besides +200mhz?
