I realize this is an old thread but I came across this and thought I would share my results! Rig name: Dell Precision 7540 CPU: Intel Core i7-9750H GPU: EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked @ 1464 MHz/ 2055 MHz core/mem (connected via eGPU chassis running Thunderbolt 3, PCIe 3.0 x4) RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x8GB 3200 MHz CL18 18-18-43 2T Score: 8.3 I am aware that it shows the UHD Graphics 630 as the GPU, however it actually is using the 980 for this test. I got ~30FPS with the iGPU, even with the 3200 MHz shared RAM. The i7-9750H is turbo clocked and undervolted, and the cache is limited to 32x-34x, because it helps provide consistent performance and temps (I have a setting for 39x-42x but the power draw causes power throttling), but other than that, looking at some other comments, I am pretty surprised this GTX 980 is holding up, especially against desktops!\ EDIT: Just wanted to add that under this test, my 980 runs at 72°C, and the GPU consumes ~190-198W (a range on multiple results). The fan speed is set to 37% as it is the maximum speed the fans can run before producing whine noise, which is ~1650RPM. I also replaced the thermal compound with ICD, hence these results.

Ah I see. On Ryzen 2000 CPUs and 400 series motherboards, you SHOULDN'T run into issues, but always make sure to do a full stress test when you go past it's JEDEC timings (as in engaging XMP mode or advanced overclocking). It was 1st gen Ryzen that had issues with RAM speed compatibility, but 2nd gen was a little better on that.

Because Haswell was one of the best generations for Intel. Not saying it is a legitimate reason to rip someone off, but it was a highly sought after set of CPUs, so it makes sense that the sellers would want to sell it for more. Technically speaking it is "one generation behind" because right now we are on LGA1151, and Skylake (yes 9th gen is based off of Skylake), and Haswell was the one before it (excluding the awful Broadwell).

Correct as it is not budget class (need to keep in mind all the Maximus boards are overclocker boards), however it is like choosing between a Chevrolet Tahoe and a Cadillac Escalade, same chassis, one is luxury; Asus would be the Cadillac and Gigabyte would be the Chevrolet, Asus is the premium one. HOWEVER, I have not seen nearly as many Asus boards having any failures compared to the enormous amount I have experienced with Gigabyte boards.

Honestly speaking, a 2200G will outperform that, even a dual core Pentium Gold chip will outperform as well. Any dual core CPU from today's era will beat that, hands down.

With HT off, you get slightly more performance in games that do not eat up the CPU to 100%, but the extra threads can help big time with editing. Just leave it on, you should be fine. You lose little performance when HT is enabled (vs a 4690K at same clocks) when gaming, but for editing, you have lots more performance.

Try disabling Full Screen Optimizations, because what you are experiencing is specific to multi monitor setups, and clicking outside the game can cause the focus to go to the video and not the game. And about that, you always get lower performance when running a video and a game at the same time. You always get lower performance when you multi task rather than perform one task at a time. And since you have an NVIDIA GPU, go to NVIDIA Control Panel, and in the global settings, there should be a "monitor mode" setting or something like that, go ahead and set that to either "Multi Monitor Mode" or "Compatibility Mode", and that should optimize the GPU for multiple monitor workloads. In addition, there should be a Power Management setting in that, go ahead and change that to "Prefer Maximum Performance" and that should increase your overall performance. Oh, and about YouTube playback, I hope you know YouTube has abnormally high requirements for smooth playback at 1080p and higher resolutions. If that is the case, I can only recommend lowering the resolution of the video.

It's not just you, it is ridiculous how selfish the people on eBay can be.

They only have 4GB of memory and consume a lot of power, not to mention, you only stated R9 Fury, and not the X, so those actually would be slightly better than the RX 590, if you factor in driver optimizations not available for the Fury GPUs. The Fury X is really the only one you should go for if you are going for a Fiji GPU.

I put that particular SSD because it was NVMe m.2, but feel free to switch that out with a 480GB, and yes I do realize it would be more helpful to have more storage, but I was trying to stick to the budget of ~625$ USD. As for Vega, I also know that HBM2 and the computing power is really helpful for editing, but again, when budget is factored in, it would have been so bottlenecked that it would have been underpowered in everything else aside from editing.

400$ is a ripoff for a ~500$ CAD CPU that is 5 generations old. Fair price should be ~270$ CAD for the 4790K, and ~150$ CAD for a 4670K. I would say, the 4690K could be upped to ~160$ CAD because it has stronger internal power delivery but 4670K will suffice for most people deciding between the two.

Yea, I did post a build list with the 1600, that one should do you much better, because you get 3 times the threads, and that can help with GPU encoding, vs 4 threads. Also, for Ryzen, you will want to have SMT enabled, because um, you get a lot more performance that way.

24GB is a weird number, and um, you can actually run into performance issues by running an odd amount of ram on Ryzen. Stick to 8, 16, 32, or 64. Never mix kits as they wont be guaranteed to work the exact same.

The OP stated this was for video editing and not gaming. Not all PC builders are gamers. However if we are talking about gaming, then the Vega 56 will beat the 590 so much that the CPU bottleneck won't matter at higher resolutions. Anyways, for editing, this build would be much better for the same cost: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.89 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Asus - TUF B350M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($79.89 @ OutletPC) Memory: Team - Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory ($80.98 @ Newegg) Storage: Patriot - VPN100 256 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($54.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: ASRock - Radeon RX 590 8 GB Phantom Gaming X Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg) Case: Rosewill - FBM-X1 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($26.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($52.88 @ OutletPC) Total: $625.61 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-30 13:26 EDT-0400

Sorry for the late reply, after looking through similar issues, try resetting your BIOS settings to default values, and see if you can install the 64 bit OS that way. Also, I should note that, you should definetly consider running full UEFI mode before booting from the USB AND NOT LEGACY MODE, so that you can have modern drivers. I like to think of Legacy vs UEFI as HDD vs SSD and Analog vs Digital, typically you want digital and SSDs because of the way they are designed, they have the potential to be exponentially more reliable.
