  1. Currently where I live: 3700x is 365$ 3800x is 418$ 3800XT is projected to be around 500$. So the Question will be which is best and are the 50$ and 130$ differences justified for my use case.
  2. Hope the reviews drop soon. UE4 works best it seems on 12-16 core machines, but my budget is 8 core kind of limited. https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/GettingStarted/RecommendedSpecifications/index.html In 48 hours I hope we will have more data. I will not choose the lowest binned dies (3700x) because I prefer to put 50$-80$ more for better die and all core load stability without torching the CPU cooler.
  3. Hi, Considering that a 3800XT is just a 3950X with just one Zen 2 die, can I assume they will boost/OC in similar fashion? What benefits should I expect in terms of Single core performance in the 3800XT? Will there be benefits in Thermals / voltage requirements? If there are better thermals/OC's/voltage, will they be worth ~85$? I see that a 3950X has similar quality dies to a 3800XT so will the numbers in the video below be pretty much similar? Will single Die allow for better performance in 3800XT than 3950X at similar Clocks due to improved thermals? A 3800X has the same performance to a "better binned" 3950X (4.5 GHz vs 4.7GHz) in these videos: I look forward to your thoughts!
  4. @TofuHaroto The kits are at the same price ~140$. the 4000 Mhz comes with CL 19-21-21-41 the 3600 Mhz with CL16-16-16-36 the 4000 cl 19 with downclock to 3600 maybe it could be similar to the CL16 kit? and still have the option to increase speed if I do a ryzen 4000 upgrade later on and ryzen 4000 supports higher speed memory.
  5. Can't I downclock the 4000 Kit to 3800 and below and tighten the timings? Both kits are similarly priced too.
  6. Hello, So since my old 4790k and z97 pro died ( code 00/D0 loop at boot) I need to find some new parts at the worst time. The new PC will be based around the B550 Aorus Pro. I am currently choosing between these two RAM kits: https://www.gskill.com/product/165/184/1536113464/F4-3600C16D-16GVKRipjaws-VDDR4-3600MHz-CL16-16-16-36-1.35V16GB-(2x8GB) or https://assets.website-files.com/5cdb2ee0b102f96c3906500f/5dd5c91fbfa290ae4ac40170_PVB416G400C9K Sku Sheet_ Copyable 070119.pdf I plan to run the memory at at 3600 MHz and maybe 3733-3800MHz -IF- the CPU can handle an Infinity fabric OC to 1866-1900MHZ with CL17-17-17-38 and below timings when OC'd. ( I have 0 experiance with DDR4 OC so I have no idea how DDR4 Samsung B-die behaves in terms of voltage or frequency) As for the CPU I need to choose between 3600XT and 3800XT. Intended use: software development, UE4 and maybe some games like GTAV, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077. Any advice or opinions on the RAM mainly and cpu is highly appreciated.
  7. Fixed, it was a slightly disconnected cable of the TN panel.
  8. Just tested with my old ass PC that had a DVI-D port on a Radeon 5750 something. That PC DID 144 HZ for 5-7 seconds before it shut down ( something died in it). Does that mean its the GPU? I keep both HDMI and DVI-D in the GPU then the DVI image is OK(little flickering), I remove the HDMI output from the GPU and leave only the DVI-D and the image goes haywire. If I can successfully test the monitor at 144 hz on older hardware then it is bound to be the GPU? EDIT#1 Turns out the Radeon 5750 has a DVI-I not DVI-D. So I don't know for sure it's the GPU.
  9. Hi, So my monitor took a hit after my dad tried to look at some 3D work I did for him in Unreal. (No my model was fine, his computer skills are few and temper quite short.) I am using a GTX 970 G1 Gaming. The Monitor is a Benq XL2420Z. I used a simple HDMI and panel is perfect at 60Hz. I switch back to my default DVI-D cable and the screen is blacked out. I switched in windows from 144Hz to 60 on the DVI-D link (using HDMI as input) and it works! If I go to 100hz/120hz there is pixel shifting on the left side of the screen(120hz is way worse). If I go 144HZ it is all blacked out. Is is possible to open the monitor and check the cables inside? Thanks for helping!
  10. Linus can we get some single threaded scores on the 1800x and the 1700?
  11. So here we are over two years later and we have 0 mainstream HBM cards from the little green men and promises for Volta and 2018... Looks like AMD will have a fantastic 2017;)
  12. Apparently the limit is 10Gbit/s so that is what Asus calls "future proof". Thank you!
  13. Hello, I decided to add an m.2 drive to my system. I would like to know if my Asus Z97 Pro will be able to fully utilize a Samsung 960 evo drive. The Motherboard specs say it supports M.2 socket 3 but that it shares bandwidth with the SATA express. But this article: SSD Preview shows that they used a 960 evo with the same board but no synthetic benchmarks were included. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated!
  14. Hey there! I've found this Nvidia presentation about HBM, if you take a look at page 3 there's a Fury X look-alike made by Nvidia. http://www.cs.utah.edu/thememoryforum/mike.pdf Have you seen this before elsewhere, any details on it? Cheers!
  15. I am currently looking for a new monitor and found this one http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-29UB65-P I will use it for programming in general and producivity but also some occasional FPS gaming. I am trying to find out what is the max refresh rate of this monitor. I found this link and in the manual it has this info: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-product/lg-29UB65-P V-Sync Rate at Max Res.: 60 Hz Vertical Refresh Rate: 56 - 75 Hz Also found this: DVI/DP:50 Hz to 75 Hz HDMI: 25 Hz to 60 Hz So what is the refresh rate of this monitor (60 or 75Hz)? Any idea? Thank you !
