News AMD Announces Radeon VII

I would add that the TPU test protocol mostly use DX11, and that's partially why they get that bad results for Vega regarding others websites.

Info Radeon VII owners/buyers thread

"While we don't report on production numbers externally, we will have products available via AIB partners and AMD.com at launch of Feb. 7, and we expect Radeon VII supply to meet demand from gamers." Well, they'll - technically - have products available at launch (hum). And maybe they really...

News Use other 2060 thread please.

Less than 6GB if VRAM for a ~1070Ti equivalent GPU would be a really dumb idea according to me... Edit : Not even speaking about GDDR5 vs GDDR6 versions... There already was a real gap between a GTX 1060 3GB vs GTX 1060 6GB, but a RTX 2060 3GB GDDR5 vs a RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6...

Whom is still rocking an Athlon / Phenom II (even X6), or a Core2Duo/Quad? X58 users too.

Just a few months ago my father was still using an Athlon II x2 215 and the onboard igpu, which basically sucked xD ! I had an Athlon x4 750k and an A75 Pro4 MB, with a HD5450 1Go (DDR2 version, yes it IS possible, and that was better than the crappy IGP). That mades him a pretty good upgrade...

Solved! Athlon 200GE vs FX6100

Going into AM4 is a good choice. And the 200GE is a good placeholder. You'll be fine with it until you grab a ~180$ R5 Zen2/Zen3 CPU later ;)

Whether to upgrade 6yr old sys. GA-970A-D3 (rev. 3.0)

I'm really not sure that is possible. A used 2500k is cheap ~50$ but Z68 /P67/H67 MB really are expensive :/.

What I would suggest you first is to install your SSD it'll already grants you a noticeable smoothness upgrade. Then test your system again, and tell us what you think about it. 79$ is cheap, but not that cheap for a CPU that old, moreover is your MB compatible ? Some AM3 MB can't sustain the...

Want to sell my Ryzen 1700 and get a 8700k. Is it stupid or greedy?

He/She picked the i9 9900k instead of the 8700k.

Would it make any sense, to upgrade Ryzen 1600 to 2600 (2nd-gen)?

3.8GHz on all core for a Zen1 non-X CPU is pretty good for h24 ! Didn't you try to overclock the 2600X ? However the perfomance gap with a 3600X will clearly be bigger.

The R7 1700 was and is a very good value CPU. However - especially with a capricious one - it is definitely not the CPU I would recommend for high refresh gaming. But even a 8700k or a 9700k would grant a big jump in high refresh gaming (actually there's near to no difference) for much less...

Stock vs stock you do are getting some noticeable improvements : 3.2 - 3.7GHz to 3.6 - 4.2 GHz in addition of a small IPC improvement and a better memory support. It is not a big jump, but you do get a real upgrade.

i9 9900X vs AMD Threadripper 2920X

If someone is looking for help to make a decision, knowing other possibilities can be interesting I think (plus he said that all perspectives are welcomed). If I have sticked with my starting rig project a few years ago I would have ended up with some crappy unbalanced rig until right now. (Not...

i9 9900X vs AMD Threadripper 2920X

About the 2920X, I also agree that it is overpriced, especially considering the fact that you can grab 1950X for less money. I just didn't talk about it because in this situation where gaming is a priority (and video editing/encoding only a second use) I don't think TR makes much sense. And...

I would recommend to wait until Zen2 R5 CPUs that should grants you a real boost. Based on what we've seen with Zen+ (+ 3% IPC, + 7% Freq) and on what Zen2 should at least legitimately provides (+10% IPC, +10% Freq), you are probably looking for ~33% improved ST performance (and maybe two more...

i9 9900X vs AMD Threadripper 2920X

Hi everyone, Even if there already are many interesting options over here, I want to suggest another path. What about grabbing a current Zen+ CPU and an AM4 motherboard in order to pick a top-end Zen2 AM4 CPU in less than a year ? Let's think about grabbing a ~160-180$ R5 2600, and some ~150$...
