You have a point there genius? 95% of people are playing at 1080p. Christ, do you TRY to be that dense, or is it just natural?
Uh, no. Because i never said that. Strawman much? Oh, right, it’s like… your go-to move, after attaching rockets to your goalposts.
No, actually i’ve never said that. I rarely discuss the 1060 at all, especially recently (the last 6 months) since the RX 580 is and has been a much better buy that entire time.
… CPUs at stock settings. (Sub 4-ghz for the first one, so he what, turned the turbo-boost OFF?) Even then…
What. Is. Your. Effing. POINT?
The game is totally playable at 1080p max settings on mid-range hardware?
OH MY GODS WHATEVER WILL I DO?!
Its funny you think you’re important enough for me to lie to. Hate to break it to you, but you’re not important enough to be worth lying to. I couldn’t care less what you think.
Also… theyre recording. And running a bunch of other stuff in the background that regular users do not do. Get. It. Through. That. Overly. Thick. Piece. Of. Bone. That. You. Substitute. For. A. Skull.
You do not represent or understand what the majority of people need or do. You never have. Every post you make just makes that more and more clear. You’re incapable of stepping outside of your own anecdotal experience and realizing that you dont represent anything. Every person on this forum who is an enthusiast is an outlier. Including me.
99% of people do not game and record.
99% of people do not game and stream.
95% of people play at 1080p OR LOWER.
Strawman combined with ad-hominem but no real argument or point.
Because they aren’t doing daily-driver tasks i wouldn’t tell them a damn thing. Do you even understand what the conversation is about you utter troll?
Then they should probably talk to their IT department about cleaning those machines of bloatware. A quad core i3 is not slow at web browsing. Thats just hyperbolic dog-poo. Given the source, though, its par for the course.
Because you didn’t say “Ryzen is always unlocked”, you said “AMD is always unlocked”.
So, flying goalposts again.
Here’s your exact quote, which you neatly excised from your reply to try not to get caught lying:
Ruh Roh Raggy.
Strawman. Straight up, textbook Strawman.
I never told people they shouldn’t be able to OC the Athlon if they can find the board that lets them.
You’re arguing against something i never said.
Seriously, which Straw company do you have stock in?
maybe you could try refuting the actual arguments (which you dont even bother to quote) rather than relying to … half a dozen strawmen and 2 ad-hominem attacks in one reply?
Okay, well I’m not talking about 4. We’re just now coming off of 4. Benchmarks are showing 4 core chips are still quite fine, if they have SMT/HT.
The whole point of my argument is the baseline Ryzen 3 3300 being an overclockable 6 core 12 thread chip makes the rest of the lineup pretty much pointless for most people, and I’m not changing my opinion of that.
It’s taken the industry over 10 years to even go beyond 4 threads. Going beyond 12? It will take another 10 years.
So yeah, Sal and Kag, if you decide you want to ignore You fool, let me know. It takes about 15 seconds to setup. I won’t bring it up again, but know that the offer stands as long as the CSS script works
You linked a video that says 1440p and its actually 1080p, hence misinformed info
Plus your video does not include any MSI afterburner info, no clock speed, just some random benchmark with no detailed info
You did
Your 2nd reply still refers to your old post too
40-50 fps with stuttering is not playable… I don’t even like it myself on my 4k setup, any AAA game that is too demanding for 4k I’d go back to 1440p monitor because I have a dual monitor setup
Then again on a thread long time ago before Ryzen existed you told me that my FX 8350 being able to do 40 fps on boss fights is unplayable so
Steam hardware survey of November 2018, 60% of steam users are using 1080p, number keeps going down every month while 1440p goes up
You are half true about that, but I really don’t think anyone is playing below 1080p except maybe laptops, but this thread is a bout a desktop chip
Microsoft Office, email, researching is not daily driver task?
The i3 7100’s are 2 core 4 threads… idk where you got this quad core i3 on a 7th generation
PCs are not even a year old and they suck bad
This thread is about ryzen, that athlon is made the same architecture as Ryzen but its not… Ryzen…
Glad I waited, I had a feeling they may be scamming with those shiny black friday deals then “oh look our next product line” shortly after. The real question though is how much better will it be than Intels current line. Good timing on AMD’s end, Intel just released theirs and AMD’s latest CPU’s aren’t that far behind Intels so if they deliver these should be faster than coffee lake which if they are I guess I’ll take the risk of buying AMD for the first time. Even more interesting is their GTX 1080 competitor which if the prices on it are true…there’s gonna be some stiff competition. I only bought my 980ti a couple years ago, but for that price I just may do a full system upgrade. Hopefully AMD delivers.
the thing is even if ppl dont LIKE AMD…they SHOULD want them to have good stuff as this forces Intel to make better stuff and lower prices on lower to mid end stuff. (intel had no challenge and that was why 2years ago they had outageous prices on cpu’s)
Also Intel has 1 thing goign agaisnt them…they are having issues with 7nm…and have been for ages. AMD is not having trouble and plan to have cpu AND gpu using it by next year.
Intel is still stuck on 14nm for years.
Im an Intel fan. (as AMD wasnt so good in the past when I started liking computers and i just have that stigma in my head even if it isnt exactly true anymore) But I am all for AMD hopefully out performing intel as it will make Intel stop sitting on their butts and innovate again and that means better stuff for consumers as a whole.
Yup, exactly what I thought as well, the more competition the better for consumers in any case. It’s kinda bs there’s there’s almost a monopoly with PC hardware, there needs to be more than 2 companies competing. Supposedly Intel’s sticking its hand in GPU’s now so I guess that’ll help a little, but intel is already a borderline monopoly with CPU’s we need new engineering companies showing up to take their place in the consumer computing market.
I’ve been against AMD in the past, but they seem to be stepping their game up for sure. I’m frankly getting very sick of the shady business practices of intel and nvidia.
Going to mention a few things. As many of you know I do real world testing not theoretical testing. The reason being is, GPUs will always be the bottleneck. I had a 1440p monitor back in 2012 and had an HD 7950 which was arguably tied for the second best card at that time. It struggled to keep up in 1440p gaming in modern titles, I had to tweak the settings. In 2018 Ghost Recon Wildlands, to stay ahead of 60 fps average I HAVE to tweak the settings, same with Ashes and other demanding games. In 2014 I had a 4k monitor with 970s in SLI. They were $300/each brand new (on sale too!). They struggled to game at 4k forget the tearing and such. Now $600 current gen GPU’s still cannot push 4k, in fact many modern games struggle to get above 30 FPS Average.
So as you’ll see in my video I am dropping soon, clock for clock, Intel is 5% ahead of AMD right now. That 5% will never become noticeable to the end user. But to add, 61% of the population on Steam games at 1080p, 4% at 1440p and 1.5% at 4k. So in 6 years that 1440p Panels have been affordable, only 4% of the market has them and 4 years that 4k has been affordable 1.5% of the market has them. Both current gen Intel and AMD can push 1080p 144Hz gaming, and unless there is noticeable shuddering which there is not on either platform, that 5% is not relevant.
Lastly, a vast majority of my customers that I build for stream to twitch, run multiple monitors and record. The reality is, people do not game with every program closed. They often run Discord, watching a stream on a second monitor, and do other things. The target customer of mine is usually parents with teenage kids and your ideal profile Kag of 99% doesn’t stream/record and 95% only use 1 monitor is way wrong. BTW, I don’t count people playing on old laptops running 1366x768 playing LoL in this area. I mean people that get Gaming PCs.
Also, 6/12 is plenty for the majority of background tasks in addition to gaming.
Myself I always run two monitors, an ASUS VG248QE and an ASUS VG245H. Games in 1080p 144 with settings to get the fps, and Netflix on the other. The only time I can’t get the fps is due the GPU, not CPU.
