You should absolutely look at the benchmarks of games you enjoy to make your decision.
So if somebody games at 1080p, they're not a "serious gamer"?What serious gamer game on 1080p??
r7 1700 4ghz, 2933Mhz CL18-17-17-38 2T, ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS win7

I have 6700k 4.5Ghz, 3000mhz ram cl14-15-15-35 1t
Untill software optimizations and firmware updates intel has a clear lead in gaming, especially in 1080p and below.

Very interesting results. Perhaps this will improve with optimizations.
You clearly just don't understand...I just find it hilarious that the whole "PC master race" cult surrounding PC gaming was all about 4K with maxed AA, AF, and other graphical fidelities; but suddenly after Ryzen's launch, a lot of the "PC master race" suddenly care about 720p/1080p and CPU bottlenecks. What a joke.
The fact of the matter is that there is now an alternative to most of Intel's HEDT options. With the money you save by going with a 1700X/1800X instead of a 6800K/6900K (and X99 platform), it should be much easier to fit a GTX 1070/1080 or even a 1080 Ti within a build's budget.

No, it's not.. The 8 core CPU is obviously more futureproof.... The 7700k winning a drawcall benchmark is as irrelevant to gaming as Ryzen winning cinebench.It's a joke if you are buying a cpu just to play today's games. If you are buying however to play games over the next few years, this is a good way to predict how each cpu will do when games get more demanding and GPUs get stronger. The weaker cpus in this test will falter first when that happens.
Note, I am saying this as someone who bought an 1800x, not as someone going 7700k.

People have been saying that for a long time now - since we could first buy 6+ core cpu's. Eventually it will be true, but that hasn't happened yet. While you can split some things into more and more threads, some stuff just doesn't thread well and is much more efficient done in 1 thread then attempting to split it. It's those bottle neck threads that the cpu with the highest single thread performance will always win at.No, it's not.. The 8 core CPU is obviously more futureproof....

Doesn't even seem to compete with my 2500k... Another failed upgrade pathway. Guess I'm waiting for the next round of releases. It's been 6 years now.
I don't know why I'm complaining. This chip has been the absolute best value of any tech purchase I have ever made.
