The S340 Elite is an amazing case, you won't be disappointed!

This is very motivational, watch it:
 

guy in this thread with the 7870 said he had issues with certain drivers not doing DX 12 https://community.amd.com/thread/201393

I saw this video by DIY Perks. I think it would be rather cool if Linus or someone else at LMG tried it out. 
 

It would be much better than a crappy DIY heatsink........................

This doesn't specifically say the HD 7870 supports DirectX 12 either, but it does say all R7 series cards do. And most of the early R7 cards were just rebrands of the HD 7000's. If, say, the R7 270X supports DirectX 12, the HD 7870 must. It's the same chip.

Which cores on which CCX's did you disable on Ryzen? Because Inter-CCX communication isn't as good as Intercore communication on Intel. Ryzen 5 is supposedly going to be a 3-3 system, and I don't know about Ryzen 3. 

This one is great! I think I will go with this. Thank you.

The good stuff like MX-4 makes a difference but idk what they use.
Buying it yourself and reapplying the cpu cooler would be the best option though

So I noticed my EK Nickel CPU Waterblock was pretty uneven and my 6700K temperatures would be pretty high running AIDA 64 CPU Stress test and i could not run FPU stress test.
 
I just wanted to show the temperature difference with delidding and applying Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and lapping the Waterblock using sandpaper.
 
About 12C difference. and i can run FPU test with 70C Max temp now. I would say the lapping on the waterblock was the main cause of the temperature drop, but delidding and adding conductonaut didn't hurt and was extremely easy with the rockit cool delid tool.


 
P.S. Also as you can see Chassis #2 Fan is my D5 Pump which I run at constant 1500RPM, and CPU fan is my radiator fans which I run at around 350rpm (Noctua NF-F12) and Chassis fan 1 is my rear exhaust at ~450RPM (Noctua NF-F12). So the computer is completely silent under full load as the temps don't go that high anymore.

Use DDU to uninstall all drivers and reinstall them...

I wish that i5s were included.... They cost the same after all....

Thanks! I figured i should just upgrade instead of building another one, even though i really want to!

Have a look at some of the actual FPS numbers.
 




 

yes

One can dream until reality strikes [:

Thank you so much for your reply as well as others. I may go the 3770K + 1080Ti route.

Then again the rx580 has been marketed to beat the 1070, Vega should come between the 1080 and 1080ti At least.. but oh well... we if learned something with Ryzen is that AMD does know how to make workstations but not gaming beasts... we'll see when it comes out.
 
Regardless I think that OP's question was rightfully answered

they will probably have a cut down version of the RX Vega chip that will slot in between the 1070 and the 1080...and we think the RX Vega will slot somewhere between the 1080 and the 1080ti, probably closer to the 1080.
Maybe they will call the cut down vega RX 590, but the RX 580 is a RX 480 rebrand.

Yeah, fps wise it does not help that much. 

Brute clock speed and small improvements...

alright thanks men
i dont think the promotion will last long ,if it runs out do you think this one could do the job properly for lower price https://www.pccomponentes.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-480-4gb-nitro-gddr5

You're welcome
Yeah, definitely!

This mostly affects power consumption...
