yes, GDDR6.

8 core @ 4.5ghz entry level not bad.

The processor has my attention. I hope that 4.5ghz comes with a sizeable IPC boost as well. Ryzen is cool but still a side grade from my 4690K at 4.5ghz. I don't stream or render vids so all those cores mean dooly squat.

rumors IPC is pretty bananas. low-end 3600x 8c 4ghz base 4.8ghzboost. fact is... we already know this can legit beat intel 9900K. a couple years ago intel was charging for criminal amounts for 8cores and weak ipc gains. we can build now cheap ass production/multi purpose pc.
also consoles are moving to true 8cores machines. its only a matter of time.

That a petty tall order. The 2600x is basically on par with my ancient 4690K and some new chips are supposed to best the 9900K?


I mean I would love for it to be so but I'm taking it with a ocean full of salt.

Amd demo it while ago.

Vega Ray tracing

Ryzen 3000 processors could very well support 5000 MHz DDR4 memory

Rock and a hard place, been reading all the reviews but maybe yall can help.

Ryzen 5 1600x, 16GB DDR4, 2 x R280x Crossfire

Upgrade to the RX 590 or the GTX 1660 Ti?

is that your only option?

its no brainer 1660 ti

I mean, no, but they are around the same price point.

[BOROSUN]

vega is around that price point too these days.

Currently memory suppliers can’t produce decent 4000mhz+ DDR4. I don’t think it’s the CPUs that need to catchup but the ram.

Save your money up for a GTX2060. Retail price differences are not that great compared to the performance increase.

If you can get a decent 580 or 1060 6gb used for $125 or lower that may hold you over.

I would not spend my money on a new 590 or 1060ti.

Thanks, ended up winning an eBay auction for a Rx Vega 56 STRIX 8GB OC for just over $200. Should hold me over, the 2060 is a nominally lower according the GPU compare.

o that price it is a killer deal. The 2060 on most charts is within 10% +/- of the 56 so they basically trade blows.

More Intel woes.

AMD Navi RX 3080 & 3070 Leak, RTX 2070 & 2060 Rivals at $499, $399 – Announcement Due May 27

[Future240]

YAAAAWWWNN AMD.

[BOROSUN]

16gb nvidia card lol. lets be real...this is not attainable for many people.

[BOROSUN]

[BOROSUN]

https://hardforum.com/threads/possib...nch-4.1982039/

The entry level 6core is better then the 2700x. It's not a bad start @ $100.

[BOROSUN]

3900x $500 12/24 4.6/3.8
3800x $400 8/16 4.5/3.9 ...this definitely can OC
3700x $330 8/16 4.4/3.8 lower tdp
3600x $250 6/12 4.4/3.8

I can't wait to get my hands on it. Waiting more info on 16core.

[Future240]

The 3800x would be a great deal if it can get within +/- 10% of the 9900K.

[BOROSUN]

Amd demo high bandwidth Navi. This could be true.

[Future240]

See. I was good with my 4690K. Then AMD had to come with all these benchmarks. Now I am considering a Ryzen build.


I am eagerly awaiting the nda to drop. I prefer guru3d myself. I got my eye on the 3700x and 3800x. I want at least 9700K performance. That would all ready be a good bit over my i5.

[Future240]

As usual Nvidia looking to bury the AMD cards pre launch


https://wccftech.com/exclusive-nvidi...hing-monsters/

[ronmcdon]

good thing theres going to be a 2080ti super. i just hope its not $2,000. sucks that amd isnt making any real effort developing high end gpus.

[BOROSUN]

Lol it's expected

[Future240]

Nvidia is not screw is customers over. Early adoption always costs more.

[ronmcdon]

I dont see them as screwing customers over. there’s no real strong incentive for nvidia to make 2080ti super seeing theres no real competition from anyone other than themselves. its just more options for customers. maybe you can make the case its bad for retailers.

im soeculating of course, but 2080ti super might a worthy upgrade
for those of us w 1080ti’s. i might get one to replace
my 1080ti as long as the performance is a reasonable enough improvement and it stays under 1500

good job to amd too making some strong efforts to keep nvidia on their toes.

[S14DB]

I think the super cards are just a result of yield and production improvements since Turning came out. I don’t think they had the capability to produce them at launch.

I do think they were going to sit on them for as long as possible and AMDs launch was a good time to show off some progress on their side.

I am glad AMD is going hard at the core market. They may not have a 2080 killer but, the majority of the market is the $200-400 cards. The only disappointment is all the features they showed off for the console market that is not in the Navi cards. Makes me believe there are some more cards to come.

This right here. Even at 1440p I can get 90+ fps on a lot of games and older ones easily crest the 120+ fps.


The increase of the 2080ti is not enough to justify paying that price for it which is over double what I paid for my (used) 1080ti.
