1800x vs 2600x?

[minato]

Hi everyone! 

 

Like title says, which one should I go for? I'd be mostly using it for video/photo editing, even 4k videos at some point.
I'd play from time to time some games on 4k resolution but would be pleased if it runs smoothly on medium settings.

 

Thank you very much.

1800X ofc because it has 2cores and 4 threads more. 

 

 

At 4k gaming, the cpu will be pretty much of no relevance, the GPU is key.

1700, overclock it

Does it make any difference that one is 14nm and the other 12nm?

Would a noctua keep the cpu cool while overclocked?

No.

Not the l9i but the D15 would

There are some slight cache improvements but it doesn't make enough difference to consider the 2600 or 2600x over the 1800x. I would honestly go for the 2700 or 2700x if you can as both are better than the 1800x.

things like the U12S, yes, 1st gen Ryzen are really cool (by overclocked CPU standards)

 

If you're talking about the L9a, then that's a bit of a push.

I'd probably get a year old 1080ti asus strix gaming for 550 euros.

Exactly the one I thought of

I would blindly go for the 2700x but there's a 100€ price difference..

Are you going to use Adobe extensively? I wish Intel wasn't as over priced as it is now, the i7 9700K will be considerable better on Adobe applications since it can hardware accelerate with the iGPU now.

 

The i7 8700K at 5ghz with iGPU hardware acceleration enable outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700X across the board already on Premiere Pro and such, so the i7 9700K would be a no brainer if it wasn't its price.

 

If you have to pick either I think I'd go with the Ryzen 7 1800X for the further multi-tasking capacity.

In many countries the Ryzen 7 1800X is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the Ryzen 7 2700 because it sold poorly (obviously as all were into 1700/1700x) and now every one wants the new line up.

 

It depends the local prices but in some cases it can actually make perfect sense getting it, also the 1800X and 2700 are much of the same, for the most part.

I would probably only use the Adobe suite. That's all nice and great but sadly I'm on a budget so I don't get to choose much.

1800x is 100€ cheaper than the 2700x.. :I

Thank you very much.

if all youre doing is 4k then get the cheaper ryzen processor as they dont really differ in 4k because they all clock about the same and 4k isnt CPU or core heavy its basically all GPU unless youre doing games like BO4 in 4k because that game totally maxes out my 5.2 ghz 8600k 95+% all cores almost always 3 pegged at 100
