Amd & nvidia

[AL1V3]

What will happen if i use an amd threadripper 1920x with a nvidia gpu?

well nothing unusual..... you're using a 1920x and a gpu. it's not going to cause a huge explosion or anything.

 

basically in any given configuration if you can plug it in you're very very likely it will work

You will get bad performance because threadripper sucks for gaming.

It will cause a thermonuclear explosion.

A computer is a computer.  If it has the slot for it, you can install it.

No more than i9 sucks for gaming.

Yeah i9s are also bad, 8700K is the best choice.

Honestly, unless you are aiming for 144hz, pretty much anything is good enough at this point though.

But why spend more to get less performance?

Unless his job is video or photo rendering or data analysis or something like that, there is no reason to buy threadripper or an i9.

That is really the only use case for those parts.  And if you are happy at ~90 FPS you can always go grab a bit older CPU (older Xeons really shine here) or an i5/R5 for considerably less money.

 

i5-8600k is probably the best deal for a pure gaming setup with new parts, everything else is in a blob just under that, and i7-8700k is the top end for gaming.
