Are the labels on test benches at 4:50 meant to be accurate, because i have never seen a 1080 ti with the radeon cooler?

The text on screen is what was actually used. We only have one 1080 Ti so they just used what we had on hand for the shot :( can see how that would be confusing!

Well in the future I'd recommend actually watching the video before claiming that something is clickbait :)

it's not click bait anyway because it's SHIT MANUFACTURES SAY, meaning AMD said it and they are testing it.

just finished the video you awarded ryzen the win as the best cpu for streaming without testing intel's xeon line up. as i said before ryzen is the best price for performance but i'm pretty sure some of intel's higher end xeons could smoke it. it would be cool if you guys could at least try them since you do have them before doing a title like this. and i could guess it before i had finished the video because this is becoming a disturbing pattern

They were testing consumer cpus.

Mm...

-there is a question mark in the title. The video attempts to answer the question. Whichever answer they obtain, I can't see how the title can be misleading or "clickbait". It describes what they test.

-Xeons for gaming, really? Outperforming the Intel CPUs used here? Are you complaining they didn't use high core count, low clock Xeons for a gaming+streaming test?

It sounds like a desperate attempt at finding something to complain about. Especially id the complain is not that the test could be more comprehensive, but that the title, of all things, is a problem...

Can you stop giving good reviews to Ryzen? It's causing price increase xD

Did you guys use CPU affinity inside of windows to ensure the game uses 4c/8t on say CPU 7-15, and giving OBS access to only CPU 0-6?

@LinusSebastian

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
