    I honestly cant tell if you are trolling or if you are serious. But, if you really are serious, I propose a question. Why would they underclock the intel chip and not overclock theirs? If everyone saw a 3.6ghz amd zen beating out a 3.6ghz 6900k, EVERYONE would be losing their shit at how amazing this new chip is. but they didnt. why not?

    Because one is a released product and one is an early engineering sample. The chip isn't finalized yet and they probably haven't hit final clock speeds. They did it to provide a 1:1 comparison and demonstrate the IPC of the zen chip vs the Intel chip. There's no use arguing over it when we don't know what the release version of zen will be capable of. The point is, clock for clock, according to AMD, zen is ahead of broadwell e. Unless you are a horrible fanboy that should excite you. We won't know whether the clock speeds will be able to match Intel's offerings until launch but based on my past experience over clocking AMD CPUs I'm hopeful they will. However, even if the clock speeds aren't up with intel it could still provide some much needed competition in the CPU marketplace if they price it right, and force Intel to respond in a more meaningful way than sitting on their asses like they have basically since sandy bridge. No matter how you look at it, even if this chip can't go much higher than 3.2, this is a good step for AMD and a good sign for tech enthusiasts.

    My 3770k is currently on life support and my board isn't doing great either . Holding out until zen or kaby lake .

    My 3770k is still alive and kicking but I'm really looking forward to zen. If these numbers hold true that's my next upgrade path regardless of what Intel brings to the table. If AMD is making this strong of a push I want to support them.

  3. It runs really well on my desktop. constant 60fps. I plan to try it on my laptop later. My two biggest problems with the game right now is that it has semi frequent crashes to the desktop, and that the FOV slider doesn't work...

    It runs like crap on my Lenovo Y50.

    Under 30 fps on any settings, massive stuttering, bad controls with mouse and keyboard.

    Disappointing tbh. And yes, my laptop might not be the best gaming machine ever, and I'm not expecting to run everything at ultra and 60+ fps, but I CAN play any game I want. No Man's Sky...not so much.

    Did you disable the 30fps cap in the settings menu....

  5. your benchmarking a has really gotten lazy.... 3 games? really? how about other games that scale with sli like battlefield, battlefront, witcher 3? honestly... as someone who has been running an sli setup for the last 4 years you did a terrible job with this video. and your ending note was even more irritating. "the two games it works with" really? sli support in modern AAA titles has gotten a lot better over the years and even if it doesn't work right at launch usually big titles have multi GPU support fairly quickly. I agree multi GPU isn't for everyone, but there's no reason to eternalize stereotypes.

    Stop spreading misinformation, AMD Drivers are fine right now, they were bad for a time in the past.

    True. Honestly these days I have more issues with Nvidia drivers than AMD drivers.
