| Imaginedvl said: Hum. If you want a computer for gaming (I'm assuming this because of the video card) why going for a Ryzen 7? Unless there is something new, I have read a bunch of benchmark/reviews and it is not so good for gaming. |
Those reviews can say what they like. I personally haven't seen my i7 outperform in any catigory as my Ryzen 7. It's the same exact card, I swapped it out of my old machine and put it into the new one. Much of those reviews are compairing things to the 7700k, which I do not have. I have the 4790k. So, there's no reason for me to consider those benchmarks. 7700k is faster than the 4790k. But, not enough to justify me buying it.
I don't understand how a stable 60, or 90 fps isn't good for gaming. Again, I have an R9 390x. No GTX 980, nor GTX 1070. I'm going to buy a GTX 1080 Ti and pair it with my Ryzen 7.
Games aren't even made with 8 cores in mind today. That's going to change. As it does, those 4 core chips will get worse and worse. I, however, needed more than 4 cores. I had severe stuttering, and chopping. I can load Overwatch on both PCs, use the same settings and record the footage, and it would drop into unplayability (sub 30FPS) meanwhile, I can get a stable, 60 fps with no frame drops on my ryzen 7 in neither the gameplay, or the recorded footage.
Perfect example, right here.... This was taken on my i7. The gameplay is dropping frames, the video is also dropping frames, which makes the game look like it's stuttering more than it actually is, it's 30FPS, blurry, and the graphic settings are mostly low/medium, and it still couldn't hold a steady in game, 60FPS.
Ryzen 7 let me put every setting on max, and I got a solid, no dip 60 FPS, with video footage looking 1-1, as far as I can tell. I
If you dont need 8 cores, don't get Ryzen.
Never going back to quality like this.
