That is a lucky ass RMA experience.
I guess they had no 1070s because of miners. Lmfao.
Yes. They differ almost nothing in stock speed because Nvidia didn't allow AIBs to overclock them. But you CAN overclock them for at least 10% more performance yourself, and the quality of the cooling and power delivery matters then.
>8600k
stopped reading
actually I read some more
>paying $600 for a Gsync monitor when the same exact panel in a Freesync model is $170 cheaper because you're a dumb cuck getting the 1070Ti when Vega56 is the same price.
The only reason you should be getting a 1060/1070Ti/1080 right now is because you already have a Gsync monitor
Grayson Moore
Why specifically 8600k?
Jacob Lewis
>all of the freesync models of that monitor are either only $10 cheaper or aren't being sold by retailers right now
>vega56 is actually more expensive than the 1070ti and performs worse than it while using more wattage
if you're going to be a fucktard and shill amd by spreading misinformation then at least don't be an asshole about it
why not? I'm not doing any multi threaded tasks, its just for gaming. so i thought this was the best cpu for single core performance since 6 cores is all i could possibly need and it can overclock.

Why not 8400, if you are going for budget with no upgrade plans, or 8700 for best performance with no overclocking, or 8700k if you want the best performance and are willing to get a big cooler for it.
>so i thought this was the best cpu for single core performance since 6 cores is all i could possibly need and it can overclock.
That is correct 6 cores is about optimal for gaming, however having 12 threads gives some headroom for other shit running in the background. Not saying you have to get one or the other but how much money are you actively saving by having 8600k over 8700 or 8700k for instance?

so I just got an AMD CPU and am upgrading from an Intel CPU. Do I need to reinstall windows? All the info is on upgrading from amd to intel...
Adrian Clark
i am considering pairing it with a volta gpu further down the line when they come out though, just probably not until the ti model comes out. 12 threads sounds like a luxury i don't really need or want to pay for either, i just need that single core performance and the ability to overclock.
>not saying you have to get one or the other but how much money are you actively saving by having 8600k over 8700 or 8700k for instance
my thought process was that i at least need 8400 performance. then i upgrade until it no longer seems necessary or I'm paying for something don't really want. does that make sense?
James Sanders
yes but it's perfectly valid to just go lmao and not do it
Levi Smith
fuck it, yolo
Jeremiah Sanchez
So...wh.what GPU do you plan to use later on?
I mean if you have 1070ti, you can pretty much use 8400 or 2600/x or 8600k and so on.
Really it only depends on
