Zen and Ultrawide?

[Trik'Stari]

From what I've been reading, AMD Ryzen has a problem at 1080p, but not at higher resolutions.

 

My question is this:

 

Will this problem extend, or be exacerbated by gaming a 5760x1080 in triple monitor surround?

That still count's as 1080P if I am sure.

I'm not quite positive of what those issues were.

 

But part of me is assuming that they were for on-board graphics. So I would assume that you are in the clear.

Technically yes, but it is still a bigger workload, although I have no idea if this could possibly be an issue.

 

I'm just curious as to what the community thinks or if anyone has tried it yet. Even more so considering the next step in my upgrade process is a new CPU, mobo, and ram.

Hmmmm.

 

Still so tempted to just go with Kaby Lake. Especially with AMD having the ram problem. I don't need to drop this much money on something that doesn't work (i.e. it gets here, and won't post because of the ram speed)

Looking into the whole ordeal as we speak. PCPer seems to have some information about it.

Ryzen has a little bugs here and there, and Kaby lake processors got a little cheaper, so you can buy Kaby lake if you would like. Ryzen will be good in a couple of months, but not now.

Mega ultra wide 1080p lol 1080p usually reads as the normal 1920x1080p, 5000x1080p is a loooot more of a resolution, you could call it that I guess but it definitely isn't in the same "level"

 

OP will be fine using the 1800x, the higher the resolution the less of a bottleneck the CPU will be, when going 4k benchmarks did show the ryzen 7 closed the gap more.

If you need to push as much frames as possible because you want to play CsGO or such in 1080p then yah you will have to go Kaby Lake but if you just want casual high resolution game, the AMD offering is good, just make sure your graphics card is up for the task.

Sure, thanks for the info.

reviewers running benchmarks at 2933 or close to 3000hz. thats fast enough for almost everything. no performance gain can be seen even if ram runs faster than that. the real issue was low ipc and lack of optimization for zen architecture- which is understandable ..the hardware is new . 

if u only game 7700 no question.

but if u also render or something then ryzen because ryzen will come very close in gaming (that resolution will also help)
