ATTENTION: The Navi RX 5700XT and RX 5700 will launch alongside Ryzen 3000 series CPUs with PCIe 4.0 on 7/7/2019. Nvidia is rumored to be releasing a SUPER series that will reportedly see 20 series cards bumped by ~15% performance while retaining their price points. More info on the SUPER series possible on 6/21.

Never buy AMD. 3950X has single core score of 5800, while a stock i9 9900k has 8k to 9k.
Camden Miller
Lol dude you guys meme about gassing jews and the holocaust and shit both sides are obnoxious and span wojaks
Jordan Collins
Is it AMD who's making these Ryzen pics?
Cooper Cook
>he's still pretending AMD isn't the poo company
come on, PooMD has been a meme for fucking years, you can't just start intel is the poo company in 2018 and expect it to actually catch on.
AMD has had the title for far longer, and it's far more relevant to them.
Liam Harris
Yes
Adrian Bell
Duh?
Grayson Perez
Why do I see retards on youtube comparing ryzen to their amd equivalents, but the ryzen is over clocked .4ghz over boost, and the intel isn't even at its max turbo boost
Then the ryzen wins by like 10 fps and the comments are filled with amd fanboys talking about the value of extra cores.
Just watched a 1600 vs 9100f comparison that did just that. The 1600 is a smarter buy just for the upgrade path into 3000 later on, but not one comment mentioned the clock difference, hey just saw their brand winning and posted their half brained gloating.
man thats a cute monke idk man mommy is asian so amd CAN'T be the poo company
Ian Richardson
50% more cores for workloads obviously. 3700x will also have the same performance as the 9900k.
Adrian Morgan
>3700x will also have the same performance as the 9900k. AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH How can AMD fags be so delusional?
William Ross
Because you can't oc low end intel chips.
Elijah Carter
what's wrong with that?
For the RAM, I can't find any kits with the same specs that aren't RGB.
It's 2x16GB 3000Mhz CL14.
For the PSU, even a 2080Ti only pulls ~330w
650w is more than enough for a 65w TDP CPU, and whatever other random shit he throws in there.
Jeremiah Jackson
He wasn't talking about overclocking you moron. Turbo boost is not overclocking.
Aaron Roberts
That PSU won't suffice
Angel Rivera
Why not?
Aaron Edwards
Take a 2700x and add 15%ipc and 5% clock speed. Woah so hard.
Wouldn't suprise me if the 3700x/3800 are better than the 3900 for gaming due to less latency
Cameron Torres
w for 2080 so?
Jeremiah Martinez
My usual routine is >Buy the 2nd best everything >Assemble it >Don't touch it for four years >One day it blue screens and won't post after that >Repeat
Jace Gutierrez
Yeah but 9900k is 40% ahead in fps
Eli Ross
Speaking of delusion >SUNNY COPE 40% BETTER IPC
Carson Gutierrez
AHAHAHAHAH you absolute fucking moron ahahha I can't even
Aiden Kelly
>Ryzen was clocked .4 over boost How do you do that without over locking champ
Chase Torres
Thank god I can finally run CS:GO properly on my 440hz monitor.
Nathan Hughes
Ryzen 5 3600X is better than 9900k kek
Isaiah Richardson
>Ryzen >Turbo boost Are you pretending to be this stupid right now?
I really want a new monitor but everything besides the nixeus edg27 seems trash. Do you girls (guys) think the valve index could be substituted as a monitor? It is probably retarded but just something I thought of. And do you think the eve 'spectrum' community made monitor will be shit like the eve tablet?
Thank you based amd intel is pozzed housefired and bankrupt
Jonathan Cox
I mean it's fine, but realistically you'll never break 400w unless you do some synthetic loads to stress your shit.
And without some RETARDED OC, you'll not even be able to draw more than 550w with those components.
But hey, retards have been buying 1000w+ PSUs for years without any need, so sure. Go ahead.
Dominic Bell
>pozzed A CPU can only be as pozzed as it's weakest point. In Intel the ME has been locked down and analyzed by tons of security experts and is no longer a security risk. In AMD however, PSP has never been locked down and therefore is the biggest POZZ a CPU can have. The impact of Intel's exploits (almost all of which have been patched) is not remotely close to the pozz of PSP. >bankrupt Intel makes 2 billions a quarter, AMD makes 4 millions.
Matthew Kelly
what do you need a 970 pro for? extremely overpriced unless u gonna be running shit tons of writes on it what do you need a shit ton of rgb fans for? still a mobo that you need to flash before using cpu
>In Intel the ME has been locked down and analyzed by tons of security experts and is no longer a security risk. do you glow in the dark by any chance
Michael Cook
>Intel makes 2 billions a quarter, AMD makes 4 millions. Which is why it's equally hilarious when AMDshills claim intel can't possibly make a process node comeback.
Intel spends around $5b per quarter on R&D. AMD spends around $300-400m per quarter on R&D.
David Myers
Intel is pozzed, deal with it.
Matthew Foster
Kek you can spend 6 gorillion shekels on your 10nm, it will stay shit forever. TSMC and Samsung are leading the way.
Thomas Reed
fixed for you pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqXdKB cooler and case fans optional but you want to spend money so get them
Chase Sanchez
"leading" the way when their 7nm is barely even matching the feature sizes being offered on intel's 10nm
Just because TSMC and Saumsung use a smaller number doesn't mean it's actually smaller.
Isaac Hernandez
Just proved you wrong though. >intel 14nm performs better than AMD 7nm >kek 10nm wont be better! kys
Angel Hill
Intel 10nm superpower 2020
Jackson Gonzalez
Doesn't change the fact that 10nm is shit forever. But I'm sure throwing more shekels will fix it lul
Jesus, even if the product released today, was proven to be 40% faster than Zen2. You'd STILL claim it's shit and would make up some bullshit about future security issues that will magically kill any performance increase, so you should still buy AMD cause AMD would never lie or have security patches that lower performance.
Ryan Martin
guys I could get a used zotac gtx 1080ti amp extreme for 500 € ($560). should i take the bait?
>second higest clocking node first is Amd fx 8350 made on 32 nm also cope
Angel Foster
Did you reset bios?
Benjamin Kelly
Are you mad? I would pay that much for a new 1080ti, but not for a used one
Asher Wood
So now that high end zen2 is shit for games what do I buy?
Josiah Wilson
Cheapest gpu to run 144hz csgo at 1080p?
Angel Bailey
lol true
Connor Miller
9700k/9900k or keep waiting.
Charles Turner
9900k 1080 probably
Jason Diaz
8700K/9700K
Xavier Martin
Clear cmos equals reset bios
Kevin Cook
RX580 or GTX1060 6GB CSGO doesn't need a strong GPU
Eli Green
I run 1440p 144hz CSGO on a 1660Ti
Ethan Torres
oof sapphire vega 64s are going as low as £300 on ebay now, so tempting to get one
Angel Taylor
just get the 9400f and be done with it
Brody Rogers
V64 is a shit Get a second hand 1080
Christopher Jones
Why would you though? That's like $400 down the drain.
Adrian Young
>future security issues that will magically kill any performance increase, so you should still buy AMD cause AMD would never lie or have security patches that lower performance This but unironically.
Cameron Edwards
What cards are you waiting to release? I don't think super or navi are that far away
Ethan Rogers
Those cards would be overkill for what he needs anyway
Justin Walker
Yeah but don't expect more than 40-50 fps
Camden Hughes
Yes but why would you torture yourself with that low resolution
Logan Jones
because it's £20 more than a brand new vega 56 sapphire not getting anything but a super 2060 or a rx 5700 need to stop browsing ebay and looking for deals compulsively tbqh
Julian Powell
It will, but barely. Also: >battlefield
Daniel Nelson
>buy intel garbage with HT >disable HT because it's diseased 9700k is the only cpu that's not a complete disaster.
Camden Anderson
>1440p/144hz 3800X/2080Ti super 3900X/2080Ti super 3950X/2080Ti super Which one? (Assuming the leak was right) Is 12/16c really a good idea for future proofing?
Jayden Gray
9900k/2080Ti super
Colton Green
Tbf, there is no need for most people to disable hyper threading.
It's not like hyper threading on = TOTALLY VULNERABLE PC ANYONE COULD ATTACK AT A MOMENTS NOTICE
