Ryzen 2700X + GTX 1080 Ti - 3440 x 1440

[Berike]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to buy a new CPU, I'm still using 3770k @ 4.5Ghz

 

I have GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 with Acer Predator X34.

 

Did anyone see benchmark of the new Ryzen 2700X @ 4.2Ghz + GTX 1080 Ti on Ultrawide? Just to know what worth buying, 8700k or 2700X

 

Thanks in advance

Hey man, I'm currently running a 1700X oc'd at  3.95 GHz/1080ti FTW3 with a 34' 1440p monitor, every AAA title and any game I play works great at 1440p and high graphics. I have no complaints with the 1700x, so the more powerful 2700x will work great. Personally, I would go for a 2700x just because it's all around the better processor. If all you do is game, you will get better performance with the 8700k.

Both will suffice truth be told, it really comes down to your personal preference, at this resolution and 100hz you'll end up GPU limited before your CPU is the bottleneck at gaming, the Intel chip will still make things snappier, ring bus is great for it... programs like Adobe softwares that rely heavily on single-thread performance also would enjoy the Intel pick.

 

With Ryzen 2 2700x though you'd have enhanced multi-tasking capacity, both the 8700k and the 2700x already multi-tasks like a charm but the Ryzen can stretch it even further if you're the type that likes having a shit ton of stuff running at the same time.

Or should I wait June for the 9700k the 8C / 16T that is rumored and see if will match the 2700X in multi task?

I mean the i7 9700k will be on 10nm the newest lithography ever, it'll still use Ring Bus and probably work around 4.3ghz all cores boost so yeah it'll not match the 2700x it will destroy it

 

If waiting until October actually is a possibility and you WANT an Intel CPU under the hood then yeah it is a no brainer wait for it, and the new Z390 chipset.

They are all the same at this resolution due to GPU bottleneck

I'm not in a hurry to change, AAA titles I can play maxed out in 60fps and multiplayers like OW, Battlefield 1, 100fps no problem.

I just feel the need to change because it's already 6 years old CPU, without M.2 etc

The ryzen 2700x is pretty much neck to neck with with the intel i7 8700k. However i7 will pull ahead if you OC it to 4.9 ghz as seen in toms hardware review.

 

but that will depend if you get lucky in the silicon lottery. Ryzen is still a better performer in multithread though.

Just gonna mention this, the 3770K is still a very capable CPU. I know a guy that uses one at 4.4Ghz with a 1080 SLI at 3440x1440.

For gaming the 8700k walks away with it.

i was going to say the same, don't think a 3770k overclocked would be a issue. Mostly you will be bottlenecked by the GPU if the problem is just resolution as stated and not some other applications besides gaming that require more cores.

It really all depends since the i7-8700K smokes Ryzen when overclocked in gaming.

 

If you want an overall powerhouse workhorse, then I would go with the Ryzen 7 2700X and overclock it.

 

I am still very happy with my 1700 and have been doing a lot of VR gaming + streaming with OBS Studio lately with no issues.

I use mine @ 4.5Ghz and "popular multiplayer titles" like Overwatch, maxed out with my GTX 1080 Ti I get +100fps easily and AAA titles I get stable 60fps and I always use with some AA on, never off like some benchmarks, even people say AA doesn't affect 3440x1440 resolution, it does, hate looking pixel edges.

 

For sure I would overclock any CPU chosen, to have 8700k @ 5Ghz and Ryzen @4.2 like 2700X reviewers did.

 

But like mentioned previously looks like waiting to see the new 10nm + 8C from Intel would be better, since I'm not in a hurry
