they dont loose 240€ if they sell the 2133 mems. I have spent some time doing that in the past, I always got most of the money back, specially if the parts are recent.

did not say 3600 MHZ mems were cheap, I mentioned the 2133Mhz ones. Not much of a loss to discard them.

Those modules are dirt cheap and they can upgrade in a few months after BIOS fixes anyway.

they could have made 4:0 and 4:2 for their 4 and 6 cores but prices would go up as silicon flaws occur more often in both CCX's rather than just one of them.

3600Mhz RAM closes the gap between R7 and 7700K for gaming. We should see Ryzen break the threshold at 4GhZ RAM, and with a full Ghz CPU clock disadvantage, This is remarkable. RZS2XHcQdqA

A lot of games already can tax the I7 on all 8 threads, thus is not something for the future, it's happening now, just not for DCS yet

Your upgrade configuration is capable because DCS requirements are modest, the 7700k would be better for other titles, but DCS does not need an i7

who payed 700€ a month ago are cursing NVIDIA now. And I dont blame them, they could have gotten the Ti for that money.

for real men they had this: 6BDgQwlfHII

Awsome thx

where do you get the 1001 BIOS? I only see 902 on their official site: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/ glad to hear about your experience. One step closer to final selection. :)

It still buys 2.5 brand new F-16 block 52+ :D

Hi guys. I'm ramping up to get a new PC. I would have donne it already if the new AMD CPU's had more mature BIOS and compatible memory kits (see details below). But I was wondering if this CPU is comparable with Intel ones for DCS. Current desirable parts: -Case: PHANTEKS P400S TG part number PH-EC416PSTG_WT -ASUS CROSSHAIR hero VI AM4 motherboard -Ryzen CPU model: TBD -Seasonic Platinum 850W PSU -Memory G-SKILL 32 GB DDR4 RGB@4000+Ghz when they are certified, if not might drop to other Trident-Z 3600 or 3200 kits -Cooler: likely the NZXT Cracken X62 + 4 Corsair 140mm ML static pressure fans for push-pull -Storage: SAMSUNG 960 EVO 1TB -GFX: Vega or 1080 Ti (OMG) So are there any of you out there with this new CPU that would be willing to share his experiences?

Listening to this music while stoned must be an interesting experience.

There is a known thread scheduling problem with ryzen that stems for lack of windows proper support. We should see performance in single thread go up a notch when that is fixed. The current 20% disadvantage in gaming to the 7700k should narrow down (although predictably not eliminated).

In that case, 7700k hands down, even when Ed decides to multicore Edge I'm almost certain it won't need more than 8 threads. My case however is different I play star citizen and do work on my PC, so this lackluster single thread performance on the Ryzen is causing me some grief while trying to decide

looking forward to see Ryzen processors included in the comparison, I'm on the fence and would like to know if thats a good option for DCS or should I wait for skylake-X 6 cores (I will use multithreading as well and need a good blend of single core and multithreading)

the 1700 is the most interesting processor, some people could clock it as high as a 1800X manually yet costs 200$ less. even less than a 7700K. Let that sink in. That being said, there is a lack of compatible memories immature BIOs and coolers, so it may be a good idea to wait a couple more months to let things settle down.

Not all reviewers agree. Joker productions have demonstrated that the baseline 1700 processor matches the 7700K in current games and has twice the threads for the future and its cheaper.

It's because pre-order costs more, wait a few weeks to stabilize once you find them on the shelves

..or it might have the opposite effect if the pilots believe in their cause. There several examples of this but thats a story for another time... :)

Ryzen 1600X (6 cores) benchies more single core scores in cinebench 15

1800X prototype benchies with turbo disabled

But both 1700X and 1800X are 8c/16t chips at 95W... You are indeed confused. The 6 core part is the 1600X and has TDP of 65W

yup, dont know why they wrote that because a few lines above they posted this: And this chipset doesnt have any overclocking fucntionality. The chips revert to their base clocks.
