its a bit off topic but...
22 days ago I bought RX 480 for 250 euro. so far I am pleased with the performance. but I wonder if it will last the next 2,5 years.
I am planning to get the gtx 1070 for 400 euro, is it worth the price? or should I wait for amd vega so the prices will maybe drop?

If you are pleased with your 480 then don't buy a new graphics card.

Buying a graphics card today, because you want it to last longer, is a really bad idea.

 

Just save your 400 dollars until you actually want/need to upgrade. When that time comes, you will most likely end up with a far better card than the 1070/Vega.

 

You should always buy the performance you need, when you need it. Don't buy performance today that you don't need, just because you might want it in the future.

I have a 970 and while I'd love to upgrade to a 1060/1070, I'm only running at 1080p 144hz so it's just fine for now (technically I'm only getting around 100fps in most games but still)

if your playing at 1080p 60hz  probably not a huge point  if you want to play at 144hz or 1440p then yeah id say go for it otherwise you might as well use this one since the moneys spent and wait till you need another.

I'm pretty sure 1.42v is fine, 1.5v is when you start to have problems.

I have a question. I saw a couple of mobos having dvi and hdmi on them, I thought ryzen didn't have a gpu in it, so why do some of the mobos have dvi and hdmi out on them?

Look at Gigabyte's gaming mobo for example.

You are going to kill your cpu at that voltage unless you go sub ambient

1.4v is totally fine on Kaby lake. Anything under 1.45v is considered safe as long as you have good cooling. A 240 AIO is more than enough for 1.4v on Kaby lake.

Because AMD is building a unified platform where future Zen-based APUs will also be on the AM4 socket, so mobo's have display outputs for them. No more AM3+ and FM1, just AM4.

guys I dont know if I have make mistake or not.
22 days ago I bought: cpu i5 6600k, mainboard z170-a and ddr4 ram.
I still have 3-4 days left to give those 3 things back.

what I do:

I play games, record gameplay, edit with sony vegas, render with megui and upload to youtube.

I want to buy a cpu for sth like 250 euro. Will amd ryzen 5 be around that price? Is it worth to wait?

As someone blatantly hyped for ZEN, I think you're fine unless you plan to do all of that at the same time.

rumor has it the desktop Zen CPUs won't have ECC memory support at all

 

this will be quite odd considering Intel's Pentiums have ECC support

How often do you use ECC for Desktop and gaming rigs? ECC is mainly server based, and as far as I'm aware, this isn't the server oriented CPU.

gaming rigs?!

it's about workstation, all this time AMD's marking has pointed out how much better their CPUs are at rendering and other task - those are workstation workloads not gaming rigs

I bet you, people with workstation would want ECC RAM

Um yes it does Go to Gigabyte or Asus and look up mobo specs for x370 its listed right in memory compatibility that it supports ECC.

What rumor is that? Literally unheard of so far. All rumors suggest Ryzen will support ECC on desktop.

 

"But Intel pentium got it!!!" - and you refrain from putting the information that Intel gimp it on all their core processors (including extreme editions).

So the pentium is the quite odd one.

Below is the only link I can find that says no ecc. Every other link I find says it does.

At best it was likely the chipset that guy used. At worst its a lie. At middle range its a beta bios and ecc wasnt implemented yet.

We did ask about a potential single socket Ryzen/ Zen part with ECC memory support and were told that AMD was not announcing such a product at this time alongside the Ryzen/ Zen launch.

It's good to see folks just making shit up as they go.  It shows that we're free to say whatever we want whether we can support our claims or not.  It's a great world we live in!

Besides that I dont see anything else that claims no ecc. However, I will admit to finding that ASUS' old specs page for the x370 pro listed ECC support, and now it doesnt.

People say February 28th or March 2nd. It's one of those two. I hope for the former one, but I doubt it.

No matter what of those two, that is too close to release imho. I was really hoping that they would come earlier than that

Ehm...

I don't want to get into the whole "Ryzen supports/doesn't support ECC!" because quite frankly I don't care (I am not going to get ECC memory anyway). But I found it odd that you linked to a Google cache version of the website. So I went and looked at Asus's own website (not the cached version you linked) and it explicitly only lists non-ECC RAM.

 

So the website you linked contains outdated information which is most likely wrong, since Asus changed it.

I find it odd that you would look up an old page with outdated info and post that, instead of the current one. If it was someone else posting that link I would have said you were deliberately trying to mislead people in order to hype Ryzen. But since you have been reasonable so far with your opinions I just find it very odd.

I wonder why they changed it - the cached version was being passed around on Reddit since the page wasn't working, but I guess now we know why it wasn't working. Guess the motherboard isn't supporting ECC.

 

I wonder if the CPUs support it at all, unless AMD is going to only have the Zen-based Opterons or something support it.

I like how the CPUs look so far, but the current motherboards you can buy are bad, the best board is a mainstream board, where are the high quality 400$ boards? I will not buy a 1700x when the best board I can get is some mainstream shit to go with what is an enthusiast CPU. I am fine with the best board being a Hero when we talk 1600x and down, but not for the 1700,1700x and 1800x.
