If I were buying today, right now, it would be Zen for sure. Games will almost certainly continue to become more threaded.
Personally I still regret buying 2500k over 2600k in 2011, as I would probably still be using a 2600k right now.
Ultimately it depends how long you expect a system to...
Well well, the guy who claims he doesn't have time to spend on tech forums all day has just so happened to return when there's something he can post about nvidia. After just so happening to abandon the Ryzen thread when positive information was coming out. Funny, that.
Even sadder & creepier he...
Another thread where Sweepr posts garbage info and bleedingly obvious bias.
Safe to add him to the ignore list fellas!

Watch the multiple people who claimed silverforce was lying not apologize. It's not hard to fact check, but you guys are happy to be wrong.
Also the attempts at derailing the thread are pretty obvious. If you want to discuss the claims AMD has made this really isn't the place for it. Trying to...
What's so hard to understand? Nvidia have a track record of lying about hardware features and software support. Consumers should never accept lies. If you're happy being lied to that's your problem. Don't expect everyone else to accept these illegal and immoral tactics.
I think you've hit a new low. Why are you defending this illegal move by nvidia? People were sold a product that was not what it claimed to be. This is 100% true.
OK, guys, lay off each other.

Ahuh. How many of those 7 computers use graphics cards that were paid for by nvidia?
Nobody should trust personA who is paid in goods for a service by companyX and advocates for their products. It's easy to brush away price increases in your case as you receive free video cards. There's nothing...
It's easy to have that attitude when you are paid by nvidia. You get free video cards so obviously you don't care how they are priced.
Meanwhile consumers are asked to pony up another 20% every couple of years, for no reason. Imagine if every new pc component went up by such amounts. There...
Are you really trying to make this thread about the rx 480? Your attempts to derail every discussion are so obvious.
Back on topic! More evidence to the pile that AMD gpus are built to last. Some of these gains are insane.
Your bias is showing.....
The same money this year can get you double the frames. But you've somehow managed to twist that into a negative? How truly bizarre.
It's not too far-fetched. AMD could certainly pull another 4870 out of the hat, which would be amazing for value. Let's wait for benchmarks to be sure. The latest nvidia cards are mid-range dies that are being sold for 700+ dollars.
There's so little difference between the screenshots posted above that there's no way it requires 4GB more ram between graphics levels.
Any higher res shots out there?
Why are they charging extra for a card that can't boost? Unless boost clock is code for 10 minute bursts.
What exactly do consumers get from this special fools edition card?
Hmm who to believe, the nvidia shill who has spent years downplaying anything and everything AMD, or, the independent reviewer that supplied actual evidence.....an easy choice really!
The 1080 is a joke in its current state. Who wants to pay premium card prices ($700+) for such a cheaply made...
The 1080 throttles to BASE clocks after 10 (!!!!) minutes of gaming - in an OPEN AIR setup. That $700 premium price at work!
How anyone can defend a mid-range card being sold for $700+ when it can't even boost past base clocks is a joke. Unless you play games in 5 minute spurts.
One company charges $700+ for a 300mm2 die GFX card and no one bats an eyelid. Why are people obsessed with a few watts (cents per day) of efficiency? The difference is HUNDREDS of dollars upfront. So bizzare.
I think it's time for you to find another hobby.
You're constantly wrong. You're constantly negative. You've posted nearly 9000 times since April 2012 and you barely contribute anything worthwhile.
Give it a thought, would you?
