I just tested on an Asus b350 plus with the new AGESA and got 86.4 ns with 2666 MHz, 16-18-18-35 RAM.
66.6 ns with 3200 CL16 RAM, 1800X @stock

Posted in every Ryzen thread, spam?
That kid is clueless. I guess I can give him props for the data, but he clearly doesn't understand what the data he generated actually means.Hi coercitiv from the past, it's you from the present. Folks at Hardware Unboxed were kind enough to test RAM speeds in gaming for both 1800X and 7700K and found that as far as memory frequency is concerned "Ryzen scales fairly typical compared to Kaby Lake 7700K".
Mostly as expected, the R5 crushes the i5 in multithreaded applications and trades blows in games.

That "kid" is anything but clueless, and your argument is non-sensical: testing memory scaling in games using a GPU limited scenario is exactly the way it shouldn't be done.If you do a test under normal conditions, gpu limited, then the 7700k will get almost nothing from the faster memory.

PS: you may also want to actually watch the video and observe how some of the games do end up being GPU limited, as they show little or no gains for 4.8Ghz 7700K vs. 4Ghz 7700K.

Some interesting benchmarks in the review like r480 vs gf1060 in 1080p Rocket League on Ryzen.
Then we just moved the goal post from incompetent to biased. Either way, his conclusion was total bollocks.Hardware Unboxed is really Steve Walton from TechSpot. He's far from a tech noob and he's written quality articles for years on TechSpot. I understand that most tech YouTubers are far from tech experts, but Steve from HWU and Steve from Gamers Nexus are very knowledgeable. Can't forget Wendell from Level1 Techs as well.
Anyway, the R5 1600 at $219 looks freaking amazing. I need one for my server -- now.
You have some serious reading up to do if you think memory scaling can be investigated in GPU bound tests.Except, if you use extreme cpu limited scenarios, then the cpu's you are testing don't even matter. The only accurate conclusion you arrive at is that faster ram improves performance in cpu limited scenarios.
You need to read up on Ryzen.... This is the scenario that is relevant, because this is the scenario encompasses the vast vast majority of users. This is also the scenario in which Ryzen sees performance performance gains, unlike the 7700k.You have some serious reading up to do if you think memory scaling can be investigated in GPU bound tests.
Nvidia's dx12 driver support for Ryzen is SHOCKING.
Yeah, that is one hell of a surprise. I wonder if anyone will corroborate it. But who am i kidding, a certain Scot will jump on it in 2 hours time, and then after a small holy war we will see a bunch of youtubers jump on it too. Maybe they will even consider other dx9 titles, as few as they are.To say that it's an embarrassment for NVIDIA if the Rocket League results are reflected in other DX9 titles is an understatement.
Is it? It's not like AMD sent Nvidia a Ryzen reviewer kit with words: "Hey folks, mind optimizing your driver for our CPU?".The caveat.. Nvidia's dx12 driver support for Ryzen is SHOCKING.
For w/e reason i can tell you were not planning on getting nV either way, the CPU performance debacle or not.I was going to wait for Vega and then decide which between the 1080 and Vega to be my system video card for the next couple years. But if Vega comes in overpriced and slow I'll just get a 570 or 580 to carry me over till the next big Radeon release.
