4790k to ryzen 1600 results

[jjohnthedon1]

So I made the switch after my 4790k died 

and I was kinda worried that it would be lacking in gaming 

boy was I wrong

 

at 1440p 144hz with sli 980tis I am getting the exact same fps in gaming 

 

but the amazing thing is it's so much smoother

a hell of a lot smoother 

frame drops are none existent 

 

camera movement is rediculasly smooth

 

100 percent not a placebo effect 

absolutely atonashing 

 

I can't explain it I though it couldn't get any better than the i7 for gaming but this beast has proven me wrong

 

curently running at 4ghz at 1.437v(1.414 under full load for some reason) 

ram at 2933mhz cas15 

 

thanks to a lot of help from @tom_w141

 

@App4that it smashes the 4790k out of the park 

[M.A.P]

Ryzen is still behind in gaming but in 1080p only in 1440p and 4k no difference. I'm not fanboy of Intel nor AMD.

what ram did you get in the end?

 

And ye, I was surprised by the 1700, however my benchmarks were down, but the ram was running 2133mhz

Nice to hear that!

Not by a great deal from what Iv seen but regaurdless the smoothness is just rediculas

it is down in 1440P if the ram is slow, I did a full set of before and after benchmarks in my ryzen build log

I prefer Ryzen too just a bit behind in gaming(1080p only) but crushes its competition in other tasks.

Agreed with that. Ryzen has a huge performance difference when changed ram speed due to its Infinity fabric(I know that everyone knows this).

Ye unfortunately CAS 14 3200mhz GSkill RGB in the UK is £204 vs CAS 16 3200mhz for £153, I wasn't paying + 33% for CAS 14, ill just wait for further bios improvements

What ram did you get in the end? I know we discussed a couple of nights ago and I told you about low CAS been Samsung B die. Also, why did you opt away from 1700 btw? Purely just funds?

voltage droop. increase LLC (Load Line Calibration) a little to get the VRMs to push a bit more voltage when the CPU ramps up.

Wow that is very interesting!  I've been hesitating due to Ryzen's relatively low average FPS compared to 7700k.  Do you think the 1800X would be worth the extra money?

My gaming 5 board died

took it in and the guy replaced some caps in the top of my delidded die as they were missing cost me 180 all In and 370 with a new z97 board

he tested it and it was fine took it home and it lasted 30 mins before it died 

I took it back and he said he couldn't refund the work he did because I probly killed I think my self which I did not

 

so sent board back to amazon 

and swapped out to ryzen and couldn't be happier 

 

apart from you know my chip and board dieing

I seen MANY of his threads I am guessing is when he delid it and something went wrong.

Corsair vengeance 3200mhz led whites 

 

and because the 1600 was the same for gaming performance so I'd rather have a better board as ryzen will be around for a while and upgrade to the end of line chip in 2020

Delid was actually fine lol 

the guy soldering shit to my chip was not

Its been a crazy ride seeing what you have been though the past few days. Great to see a happy ending.

It's stable so I think I will leave it as it is for now 

stable is stable to me

Honestly the smoothness in gaming compared to top line fps far out ways the higher fps 

highest I would go is the 1700 and oc it to math a 1800x performance as they all oc pretty much the same

ya a OC'ed 1700 vs 1800x is the same.

I've heard this a few times, but I just don't see that in the test results.  Wouldn't the 1% low and 0.1% low show the smoothness people talk about?  I don't know what to think.

 

Tom's Hardware shows a lot of detail in their graphs.  Frame time variance on Ryzen 1600x was mostly worse than the i5 7600k in their testing.

exactly. XFR is the only reason to get a X SKU Ryzen, and that's only 100MHz for a very brief moment with super skookum cooling present.

It's just flawlessly silky smooth 

like rediculaly 

its like night and day

just moving the mouse you know there will be no hiccups 

 

i feel this this is a upgrade from me rather than a side grade

What are the OC Specs that you have currently? Need OC details.
