Which of these setups are the best?

[RandomGuy1677]

My aim is to do 3k or 4k video editing and to game on triple A titles while getting the very best performance, also considering the value (I will wait for the new Threadrippers to come out, meanwhile take these models)

Setup1: 

-AMD Threadripper 1950x

-GTX 1080ti

-16gb ddr4

-ASUS ROG x399 motherboard

 AU$ 5325.57 (including monitor and other specs LIKE hdd and ssd)

Setup2:

-AMD Threadripper 1920x

-GTX 1070 SLI

-24gb ddr4

-*Same motherboard*

Setup3:

Setup1; changes from GTX 1080ti > 1070 sli

By the time TR2 comes, Nvidia's new graphics card should be out. Decide that or 1080ti later, but definitely not SLI

 

If you want to overclock the 24 core or 32 core, you need a new motherboard. That's why you should build the thing after TR2 comes and not buy TR1

7900x is a better choice if you want to go for a $1000 cpu.

This video doesnt apply to 7900x, as it doesnt have integrated graphics

 

Also, neither 1950x nor 7900x are $1000 CPUs right now. The 7900X cost $900 while 1950x cost $750...

I think you haven't watched it. Please do! Yes 7900x isn't there but R7 1700 is. R7 1700 doesn't have an igpu too. Check its performance there. Also, the first one is a good source to examine that TR isnt worth for video editing. You can get 7900x on ebay for $780.

how the heck does the sub-$200 Ryzen 7 come into play among HEDT platform CPUs?

No, that h264 acceleration thing is far less beneficial than you (and many others) think it is. That iGPU only helps the final h264 export process, nothing else. If you get the 8700k rather than the 10 core X299 or 16 core X399 just because of the integrated graphics, the process of editing the video, which matters most, will be much worse because there's far less CPU power. Taking longer time for h264 export is the least thing you should care, because that process doesnt require human interaction. If you have a CPU that does it slowly, you can click the button and do whatever stuff you should be doing and come back later

How the heck does used stuff come into play?

 

But even here TR is a better choice (if 16 core one is the target). Once the 24 core and 32 core hit the market, there will be plenty 16 core users selling their old CPUs and most likely the motherboard off. When there's high supply, prices sink. Not to mention 1950x is the cheaper CPU from the beginning.

It comes into play as the video has compared it with the TR.

 

 

So time used in encoding, warp stabilizer, video playback where TR is slower than the 8700k or even the R7 1700 is just rubbish because you are saying so? Hmm doesn't make a genuine argument. The igpu update you are talking about is rather new. That video predates the update.

 

 

Tell me how many video top YouTubers use Threadripper for their daily video editing machine? I doubt there are many. Most of them user extreme versions or the i9s. 

7900x is currently cheaper on ebay com. If he wants to wait for a slow 32 core $1500 cpu, it is his choice.
