Posted August 7, 2018 Hi! These are the specs that recently dropped for the upcoming 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper 2950X: 16 cores, 32 threads, a base clock of 3.5GHz and boost clock of 4.4GHz, for $899. Does anyone know at what FSB they will / could run? How far do you guys think we could overclock it and how? If we push a little over the 4.4ghz boost clock, how do you think could it perform in gaming compared to a 8700k for example? I am looking for a new video rendering / gaming CPU and am wondering if this could be a neat choice for me. Thank you for your feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2018 It will annihilate a 8700k and slam dunk it into another galaxy just with it's cores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 7, 2018 4.3 ghz is the max you could expect from an overclock. It will perform worse than the 8700k in gaming. For casual rendering and gaming the 2700x is a cheaper choice, but the 1950x/2950x is a very excellent workstation CPU Remember to pick up a good board.

Posted August 7, 2018 hmmm, so someone asking us what the theoretical performance of a CHIP thats not released yet nor any validated Benchmarks have been released yet? Yep.. sounds like a launch event to me... Community Standards | Fan Control Software Please make sure to Quote me or @ me to see your reply!

I've seen enough.. where is the rope LOL maybe on the 8core part it makes "sense" But yeha mister OP: Get a Ryzen7 and put the other budget towards a nicer GPU. This will give you much more FPS. Or if you allready maxed out this get some RGB xDDD FOLDING MONTH 2021! GOGOGO and save on some heating costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitivly aimed workstation use though. Surprised you didnt die when Linus attempted to play on a Xeon Phi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2018 My question is do you plan to stream, or do rendering on the side, cuz the extra cores are pushing it for the sake of lower clocks and in turn gaming performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use AFX. Games: I play most of the modern shooters currently on 144hz 1080p. Will upgrade to ultrawide at some point. I do not stream but i used to record.

Like an MSI Creation The Threadripper 2950X's Boost Clock is already 4.4GHz according to specs. If that could be pushed to 4,7 Ghz it would have the same turbo as a 8700k, but with 10 more cores and 20 more threads! I do not know how well Threadrippers can be OC'ed, but i am intrigued! Edit / ps: If it achieved a similar Result for gaming but much more Power for Rendering it could be an optimal CPU for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadripper 2 will have slightly higher OC limit that Ryzen 2. So about 4.3 ghz. It will be 10-15% worse in gaming, depening on resolution and games it will be identical or slightly worse. It will offer a lote more computing power in heavily threaded loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty shure that is a very high voltage and sub-ambient temperatures. Threadripper 1 had about 4.1-2 maximum OC. You wont get any extra without voltage that will kill the CPU and sub-ambient cooling which is not something anyone runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I could also use an external system for capturing) If you stick with 1440p or more the GPU becomes the bottleneck so therefore as long as your CPU clock speeds aren't abysmal you should be just dandy running just about anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 8, 2018 Author So afaik most games will utilize not much more than 4 cores ...right? How practical is it to boost 4 Cores to a higher Boost Speed and assign those to the games?
