Set Vsync ON in ur nvidia control panel, or adaptive...

This way, it will limit your frames in games Menu, or desktop, etc...

Coilwhine happens often over 400 FPS, which is in games menu etc... 


This solution worked for many. But you have to use Vsync

 

Hi guys,

So which one is the best you guys think,

The new AMD Ryzen 1800x
 
Or the Upcoming announced maybe futur hype train i9 8700k running @ 16 cores 32 threads @ 8.2 Ghz tested on air by Intel private club ?
 
Can't wait ! Pre ordered the i9 already on cantwaitforryzen.com !!!

Golden eye 64 was the shit. end of story

You shouldn't. People shouldn't.
 
For pure gamers an R7 CPU isn't a good choice. Now if you're streaming or doing editing, that's different. But if you're purely gaming, a 7700k is better.
 
Most people recommending R7 CPUs for pure gamers are fanboys.

I would say you're gonna be waiting at least 3 years for Ryzen to actually start flat out beating the 7700k.

Yeah I gotta agree,
 
I don't think Games will start using more than 8 thread soon...
 
I mean.. we had 8 thread cpu since first i7 gen, thats like 7 years ago, and we still have like 95% of games running on maximum 4 cores...
 
Before the time we see games using mroe than 8 thread I feel like there will be new CPU's already on the market

Yeah I would definitely take an R5 1600 over any i5. The straight quadcore era is over, new games have been optimized for 8 threads since 2014 (one year after PS4 and XB1 came out with their low clockspeed, low IPC octacore cpus). It's why I bought a Xeon E3-1231v3 cpu in 2014 when I would have bought an i5-3570 or i5-4670 for sure if I built my system in 2012 or 2013.

Because it's only 10-20% better in games when you pair them with the best GPUs, at certain resolutions/details that make you CPU bound.
When you move out of test benches and bring them to people's typical systems, you won't necessarily get a 10-20% difference. That is, instead of getting 150 FPS vs 120 FPS in the 144Hz monitor used for tests, they'll get 80 FPS vs 80 FPS in their 1080p60Hz screen, because that's what their 480 / 1060 at best can deliver.
However, while the performance gap changes as you move from test bench to average Joe, the price difference remains, and a 7700K is >$100 more expensive than an unlocked 6-core Ryzen 5. And the 6- and 8-core parts may often improve the minimums over the i7, despite getting lower averages in test benches.
 
So, basically some gamers buy them because they make much more sense in their budgets. Money better spent on the GPU.

Anyways just do it m8 1600s are gr8

I never said all, but usually it is the best budget option.
Also depends on where you live. Not everywhere is like the US.
 
Yes that's why I said it is meh and not perfect.

Full the tower of water, put fish in it, enjoy the aquarium
 
sorry for trolling, GL  

Yea AMD are good at hyping their product.
 
We'll see with the real performances.

Depends how much cheaper, but if like 20% cheaper for 10% less performance than a 1080 ti, I would buy the 1080 ti because I want best performance and don't give a dman fu** about the money
 
But you have a point

To quote from the link, an Intel spokesperson is claimed to have said:
I think this is nothing more than generic butt-covering. If Intel were to say "it's fine, do what you want" then when it breaks, they could be liable for that. The stance is nothing more than "you could do it, we don't recommend it, so if you break anything, it is 100% your problem, not ours". That's standard overclocking risks.
 
Basically pcgamer is trying to blow up a non-event into a story.

Stuck on Intel? I plan on getting a 7700K and game around 1440P/4K anyway. Not worth the time to sell current stuff and replacing board for Ryzen imo. 

oh god...that CPU will hold back even a GTX 1060 in modern games...

a used GTX 980ti is faster than a GTX 1070 if you overclock it to around 1450mhz core and 8000mhz memory you need like a 2150mhz GTX 1070 to match it's performance which is not very common (i know, i had both cards)

You have an i7 7700k one of the best processors on the market, in order to use that to its fullest extent your going to want to get a 1070 to a 1080Ti, whatever fits your budget best. If your intreastead in 4k gaming then I recommened going to the 1080Ti if you prefer sticking with 1080p the 1070 should be able to do games at 144Hz just fine.

FRAPS? The yellow FPS counter is FRAPS, the green temp monitoring software is usually MSI Afterbuner

yeah, just thought i'd ask here first, you never know when someone has some hidden knowledge

Thank you so much.
