New pc Build

[Veltn]

I plan to build a new pc for editing streaming and gaming but i cant seem to decide which cpu to go threadripper or i9 and i really cant decide but i have been leaning to thread ripper but this is the build and if you wonder for the intel version its the exactly the same expect the mobo is x299 and the cpu is i9 7900x https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HgNgM8

Also if you wonder for my budget its 3500 dollars including the tax so far this build is 3400+ dollars

Get threadripper and wait on vega.

really cause i can pre order right now but idk whats its gaming performance will be like

Its good. It's cheaper. It's worth it.

[zzzzzzzhhh]

Yeah, wait until threadripper and VEGA are out, check some reviews, if it is all good, go for it!

You can't say that yet, though I am sure, and I hope, that threadripper isn't a disappointment.

I can say that, I watched it lol.

[Veltn]

well from what some of the youtubers said they will release performance and benchmarks reviews very soon i hope its within the next 7 days

also those are amd benchmarks you got to take that kind of stuff with a grain of salt since they said the same with ryzen but it didnt hit all the marks

dont get me wrong it hit quite a few marks but you can expect everything they tell you without third party reviews

whoa whoa whoa.

 

if you have a budget for an i9, and you want gaming performance, why are you looking at Threadripper?

im looking into a thread ripper cause this is both a gaming rig and editing and streaming rig and maybe a content creation rig later on so i have to looks for best possible cpu

question still stands.

 

the i9 has a much higher clock speed than thread ripper, and has a LOT more overclocking potential, which will benefit you immensely in gaming. Those 10 OC'd cores will also perform like a BEAST just as the 16-core threadripper will in multi-core processes when you start editing.

Because he also wants to stream and Threadripper has higher clocks

really? Threadripper can OC to 4.8GHz on all cores?

 

wow...

Talking about base clocks. 3.4GhZ vs 3.3GhZ. Plus the turbo on the threadripper isn't that bad, at 4.0GhZ. I bet you could overclock higher. Maybe not that high, but higher. Add on the 12 more threads and it's clearly better

[Veltn]

Know this as well guys we have no idk how much a thread ripper can oc yet so you shouldn't make assumption yet till we get third party reviews

Hey, thread ripper will outperform the 7900X in heavy multi-threaded workloads. no question. I'm not saying it isn't, but for GAMING which is HEAVILY clock speed dependant, the i9 is the better choice, by about 800 MHz.

I wouldn't say immensely. even look at this

He is also streaming and editing.

it's two ryzen 1800x's on one die. i'll drop it now, place your bets gentlemen: CB15 score of 3200 +/- 50.

yeah the difference isn't that big at all. it would be such a waste to get the one over the other for the better gaming performance that is honestly minimal at best.

and because he's streaming GAMES, the i9 is the better choice for it based on clock speeds and OC headroom. that is the ONLY reason to choose the 7900X over the 1950X

the clock speeds on the 8 core and 6 core are high but still have crap gaming performance compared to the 7700k even when at the same frequency so I would say the clock speed argument is bad. you are going to see minimal difference in gaming performance and a big difference if this trend continues with the 10 core.

[Veltn]

But wasn't the ryzen 7 better at streaming over the i7 and the only difference was the clock speed and core by that I mean lower clock speed more cores

you wont have an issue with streaming with the 10 core because it has enough cores to game and stream. that being said for video editing and content creation the 16 core thread ripper will destroy the 10 core while I don't think the 10 core will be all that better in gaming performance. the 7700k had a hard time with streaming because it didn't ha enough multi-threaded performance to stream while gamine because of it only being a 4 core vs an 8 core.
