Can you recommend an Intel skylake build for 500 bucks

It'd mean going for a dual core, which isn't a good idea tbh. Also, DDR4 costs more $$$.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

so far all I see out of the video is that the skylake cpus is doing much better but that is because of ddr4 not because of the speed. and the 2133mhz ram dips below the 1600mhz ram in a few cases so I don't know what the argument is here but that is what I just witnessed

Wat. Both i3 tests are using the same DDR4 memory. One is using 2133MHz, one 2666MHz.

FYI it's the same i3 at the same clock speeds, but different RAM speeds.

2133MHz dips below 1600MHz? Why are you even bothering with the FX-6300 tests?

 

The only 2 tests that you should be worried about is the i3 with 2133MHz RAM, vs the i3 with 2666MHz RAM. If you remember your original argument, this nullifies it. Memory does give you better FPS depending on games.

It's only situational, in certain games. And it's impact lessens with higher end processors and graphics cards.

Yes. For that, just stick to manufacturer specified RAM speed. The Athlon supports 2133MHz RAM speeds by default.

Also we're dealing with a low end processor here. So every bit of speed counts.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

you are right but my theory is that that cpu you recommended isn't anywhere near future proof and while there won't be a bottleneck he probably won't understand the concept of upgrading a computer so that you don't spend a ton of money.

youre right the i7 is better but the athlon has warranty and will be more reliable for obvious reasons.
