Are there any hidden issues with AMD's Ryzen CPUs? I have not owned an AMD CPU since my first PC with an AMD Duron back in 2000.
I'm worried that, just like ATi/AMD GPUs, it could have major performance issues in many games that are not optimized for it, such as low-budget indie games, betas/early access, MMOs etc where AMD GPUs were worthless.
Is this an issue with AMD CPUs? Do they only perform well in the same 10-15 tasks people use to benchmark them? Is it possible I might fire up a CPU-intensive game made by inept/inexperienced coders, like Monster Hunter World, and I'd get crippled performance with an AMD CPU because of optimization?
doubtful, single thread performance is decent enough to get 400+ fps in csgo if you optimize settings
Adam Sanchez
I still have an 8350. No problems
Jose Price
They are dogshit gaming wise Intel btfos it in that aspect by a mile
Connor Wilson
CS:GO is not very hardware intensive
Monster Hunter World seems to be a CPU-intensive unoptimized mess, like many other games (e.g. Warhammer 2, Fallout 4 to name a few) and this trend isn't going to change
Nolan Cook
probably not ryzen itself but my asus motherboard is absolute garbage and likely fried my cpu due to the ridiculous voltages it runs at stock
David Lee
Did you get a new CPU?
Joshua Foster
there's issuses like RYZENFALL, FALLOUT, CHIMERA and MASTERKEY
Jackson Rogers
same here If I want to upgrade I need new mobo new price fixed™ DDR4 RAM and all that
Lucas Jones
This. Even old Sandy Bridge Intel CPUs have like 50% more FPS in games compared to Ryzen. Stay the fuck away from it if you only intend to run games on it.
Dylan Adams
I wonder who could be behind this post?
Tyler Long
If you are gaming get Intel. Even the 8100 outperforms Ryzen chips in the same price range. That being said the performance difference isn't really as big as some people make it out to be.
Chase Hernandez
I guess I'll buy a 9700K then Hyperthreading is not worth $100 is it? For the 9900K
Cooper Martin
You definitely want hyperthreading, 9900K is the only option worth considering.
Camden Hernandez
Dont fall for their tricks op
Robert Ross
Obvious bait. The i7 2700k barely outperforms the r3 1200 in gaming.
Oliver Walker
> This. Even old Sandy Bridge Intel CPUs have like 50% more FPS in games compared to Ryzen. If you take the heatsink off the Ryzen CPU and make it thermal throttle maybe.
Levi Edwards
If only Intel put as much effort into their products as they did with talking shit about AMD, they might have something that wasnt an overpriced joke.
Zachary Parker
No, even 4 threads are enough for gaming. New cpus will have what 8 threads? Thats plenty.
Landon Wood
I have two, both work perfectly fine and are cold as fuck. see pic for the R7 1800x
>windows 7 holy fuck i thought this was just a meme, people actually do it? ahahaahahah
Anthony Collins
It's a shame the WEI was removed from 8.1+. It was pretty meaningless, but I never got a full 7.8 on my hardware before that time.
And don't want to install 7 now.
Bentley Long
Why not? windows 10 is complete shit. and let's not talk about 8.1
Ian Walker
>Using windows at all When did they allow brainlets on Jow Forums?
Angel Kelly
when you showed up here
Levi Lee
i mean, if you care about your OS not being shit you'd be using linux
how is 10 worse than 7? after they retroactively added the botnet shit to 7 there's no point in using it over 10
Dylan Green
Assassins Creed Origins caps out my 3570K to 100% CPU usage across all 4 cores and bottlenecks my GPU
I think games are multi threaded now, because consoles are
Carter Peterson
>they retroactively added the botnet shit to 7 what does "disable updates" means?
Ryan Garcia
nothing on windows 10
Gavin Harris
>he doesn't know
Justin Torres
Good sir we lost your contact address and thus cant forward your 20 shekels. Please contact intel hq.
Elijah Myers
>on windows 10 but I'm not using windows 10
Ethan Sullivan
Would still be on my 8350 if my board didn't fail. Upgrading to a 1700 sure was nice though.
Ethan Nguyen
I was implying that updates can't be disabled on windows 10, not that anybody used it.
Parker Torres
then don't use windows 10 brainlet

Works great, recently I discovered that if I manually set process priority to realtime it gives a hefty fps boost and makes things even smoother. When I did this on my old i5 it would lag and stutter my whole computer and add tons of mouse lag. On Ryzen 7 1700 it adds zero lags, makes everything smoother and gives varying FPS boosts depending on the game. My friend has a 2700X and he has even better performance than me on single-thread heavy games like WoW, where he says he got a 60fps boost over his old 1700.
Overall I'm very satisfied with Ryzen 7 for gaming, I've already built my brother and boyfriend more budget friendly computers with Ryzen 5s, targeting 60-90fps no problem at great prices.
Issues however, Ryzen 1 has not that good XFR, you have to manually overclock, on my CPU stock voltages are not high enough and it would BSOD on stress tests, other than that I've had no issues. Just make sure to buy high speed RAM and low latency.
There are some issues with the 2200G and 2400G in regards to IOMMU on Linux.
Wyatt Cook
It'll work fine. Stop worry about what shills have to say about their favorite brand.
Choose what makes the most sense for your needs.
In the overwhelming majority of stuff out there you couldn't tell a difference anyway. Poorly coded shit will run like shit regardless of what kind of hardware you throw at it.
Brody Clark
IOMMU is a crapshot on majority of mainstream-tier motherboards. It is a problem entirely on UEFI-side not really the fault of the hardware.
It is a feature really meant for professional market. If you want proper IOMMU implementation. You'll have to get professional-tier motherboards (no RGB, gayming edition BS)
Bentley Johnson
Your best bet with iommu is to keep the mobo patched if you already have it, and watch for success stories on various forums (level1tech, Jow Forumsvfio) if you're looking to buy one. The chip has little to do with it.
Wyatt Sullivan
If you don't have an 1080ti and play games at 720p you're fine.
Joshua Cooper
>anus
Nathan Cooper
Nope none Get a 2700x and 16gb 3200 ram
Aaron Scott
get 2700x and 16gb 3600 ram. i seen some on sell, cheap with low timings, must of been samsung b-die
Oliver Howard
Why not get an i5-8400 and 16gb 3200 RAM? There's Z370 motherboards for 95 Euros now, and the 8400 costs 170E
Juan Allen
Already got mine At stock clocks 3400+ is overkill for negligible gains mate Wait for the higher clocked 7nm next gen stuff and cheaper ram before u go running 3200+ I'm talking like a couple of fps differences between shit its not worth it Because I also have a 1600x 3200 16gb system
Hudson Foster
i seen the 3600 ddr4 for real cheap though and low cl latencies . Model F4-3600C15D-16GTZ seen it on sale the other day.
Hudson Long
How much where the 32 and 64 128 gb kits tho?
Lincoln Stewart
No. I thought this before buying ryzen as well but i figured AMD GPUs suck because their drivers are shit in games, CPUs don't have gaming drivers so there shouldn't be a problem. Turns out i was right.
Nicholas Miller
I use it with 8.1 10 is shit 7 is almost outdated and slower.
Having a 1700 and 2700X, unfortunately the 2700X is defective. I couldn't use my 4000 € build in the last months. I guess this could happen to Intel too, my X99 used to have RAM problems and I don't want to need a delid.
Jacob Evans
Should have installed LTSB
John Foster
WIndows 8.1 Pro x64? Yes did it.
Robert Evans
kek
Benjamin Diaz
Upgraded to 1700 and never looked back.
Get a 2700X though, or a 2600X if you can't make use of the moar coars.
Cooper Green
"buy intel because of no other reason than brand loyalty"
3200 RAM isn't much more expensive, its mostly 10 €. Unless you want the best RAMs (B-Dies). Those start around 230-250 €. But Hynix RAM suffices for most builds, even Micron, you only "need" B-Dies if you build a highend rig when cost is no matter and you use only the best parts.
Christopher Bennett
pretty happy with 1600x for 1440p gaming.
John Allen
>boyfriend Kys faggot
Eli Rivera
I feel like these are a meme. >muh productivity >muh corelets 90% of you faggots cannot even make use of all the cores the AMD offers. Sure Intel has worse "value" when you compare the price and core count but we're still living in a time where majority of casual every day programs/games still prefer a higher single threaded performance and that's where Intel is still in the lead. If you buy AMD to "future-proof" your build, it'll be long outdated before that happens. I think this will change with Zen 2 though, when they should match or even exceed Intel's single thread performance, so if you're thinking of jumping ship, it's probably worth the wait.
I got memed by Jow Forums shills into thinking that I should upgrade to Zen but when I looked into it myself, it turns out I'd be doing a sidegrade at best from my 2014 22nm Intel CPU.
Brandon Cook
it's like you missed last season when all 7700k owners were complaining about stutter in every AAA game they launched
idk about the desktop version but the 2700U looks gud, probably going w/ that for my next laptop
idk why anyone would keep buying intel w/ all of the fucking issues they're having >be intel >find major vulnerabilities in architecture of chipset >jewuorbust.mp4 >keep releasing new hardware without fixing vulnerabilities
