Couldn't wait needed a better PC setup and as I have pointed out I believe the just because we will have the AMD info in October does not mean the equivalent to the 3950x will even be out this year, from what I understand it is usually a staggered release.

 

BTW the 3950 rocks! omg handbrake transcoding and 7zip compression is amazing, also installing a 89gb Wabbajack SkyrimVR Ultimate mod list went so damn fast I didn't even have time to make a drink.

x264 stream encoding on 1440p 8500bitrate with all the shiny turned on uses less than 20% cpu usage.

I love it.

Congrats on your PC, enjoy!

 

You can maybe play around a bit with PBO. This can give you a few % more multithreaded performance, but can significantly increase temps. Otherwise if you don't plan on serious overclocking, you're pretty much good to go!

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
