I am thinking of buying a Sapphire vega 64 Nitro+ card to my FreeSync monitor. What CPU will give me the smoothest performance in FPS games together with my Vega 64?.

Ummm... this is a trap, right?

 

I'm just gonna say 8700K (or 8700 if you're not gonna OC) and leave.

Smoothest, 8700K. Best value? Ryzen. 

 

imo Intel chips of late are great, but they only make sense if you hate upgrades and only play games. If you do literally anything else, Ryzen is the way to go.

But if he’s going Ryzen, he doesn’t want the 2600X if he also can afford the 8700K.

This isn't true. While Ryzen has higher multi-core performance per dollar, and the 2700X has an absolute multi-core performance advantage over the 8700k, you will only realize this advantage in workloads that actually saturate more cores/threads than the Intel chip has. For any task that is not compute bound (which is 99%+ of everyday usage), higher single core performance results in a snappier experience.

 

Additionally, the 8700k has a clear lead over the 2700X in Lightroom and Photoshop due to better single core performance and in Premiere due to iGPU acceleration, which Ryzen lacks.

The i7 8700k will give you higher fps. The Ryzen 5 2600k is cheaper but slower than the i7 8700k in single core performance but faster in multithreaded performance. The FX is the slowest overall but it will give you smoother gameplay than both. I have the Threadripper 1950X and the FX 9590 both are great for gaming but I do not experience any screen tearing on the FX but I do sometimes on the Threadripper but I do not experience any microstutter on either but I do on my i7 3770K.

Yeah, just go with the 8700K. Bonus points if you overclock it, especially at or past, 5.0 GHz.

No, as soon as you do 2 medium to high demand tasks at the same time, Ryzen smokes the Intel Chips.

 

For example Streaming.


Possibly also Voice Chat, though that isn't a thing people test.

Intel is only good on a "clean system", not the everyday stuff...
