Posted October 30, 2018 Hello. Because I am very hesitant about my choice of a new system. I currently own Intel I5-4460 and Asus HD7870-DC2TG-2GD5-V2 GPU. Because I'm very interested of the system's with low power consumption, can I ask you something? In your opinion, which option is better : Ryzen 2600 with MSI GTX 1070 6 GB Gaming X version or Ryzen 2600x with MSI GTX 1060 6 GB Gaming X . If we look at the current processor and video card, which new system is good and has low power consumption compared to the current one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 30, 2018 Unless your gaming for 8 hours a day 365 days a year the difference in your price for electricity will likely be pennies per week between hardware. A medium grade PC running at 100% load for 24 hours will still only use like $1 of electricity depending on your rates. And when your gaming you usually aren't at 100% load across all hardware. By specifically choosing low power parts, that might go down to like $0.80 a day. If you aren't running it at 100% load 24/7 you can see how the difference quickly goes down to pennies.

Are you saying the 2600X holds the 1070 back? And if so then buying a weaker GPU would make sense. Or are you saying the 2600X can handle a better card than a 1070 so a 1060 wouldn't make sense.

Posted October 30, 2018 yes the cpu won't matter much to boost fps, even if you use 2600x. the raw power of 1070 is just much higher, and consume more electricity, than 1060. so to say that it will even out if you use higher cpu with 1060 is just not valid.

Or are you saying the 2600X can handle a better card than a 1070 so a 1060 wouldn't make sense. 2600x holds back the 1070 a tad bit. 2600x with 1060 would bottlekneck less. I tried to say that the bottlekneck of a 1070 paired with a 2600 would be much higher than the bottlekneck that you would get with a 1070 and a 2600x. So, getting a 1070 with the 2600 would be a bad idea. For example: In Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Ultra settings, v-sync 60Hz, 1080p) with the 2600x and 1070 (these are my results) - 30% CPU usage, 4-6% GPU usage So, theoretically, same game and settings with 2600 and 1070 (my educated guess) - 50-60% CPU usage, 4-6% GPU usage Vs same game and settings with 2600x and 1060 (another educated guess) - 10-20% CPU usage, 10% GPU usage Primary PC: - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8G3tXv (Windows 10 Home) HTPC: - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KdBb4n (Windows 10 Home) Server: Dell Precision T7500 - Dual Xeon X5660's, 44GB ECC DDR3, Dell Nvidia GTX 645 (Windows Server 2019 Standard) *SLI Rig* - i7-920, MSI-X58 Platinum SLI, 12GB DDR3, Dual EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 in SLI - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GHw6vW (Windows 7 Pro) HP DC7900 - Core 2 Duo E8400, 4GB DDR2, Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT (Windows Vista) Compaq Presario 5000 - Pentium 4 1.7Ghz, 1.7GB SDR, PowerColor Radeon 9600 Pro (Windows XP x86 Pro) Compaq Presario 8772 - Pentium MMX 200Mhz, 48MB PC66, 6GB Quantum HDD, "8GB" HP SATA SSD adapted to IDE (Windows 98 SE) Asus M32AD - Intel i3-4170, 8GB DDR3, 250GB Seagate 2.5" HDD (converting to SSD soon), EVGA GeForce GTS 250, OEM 350W PSU (Windows 10 Core) *Haswell Tower* - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3vw6vW (Windows 10 Home) *ITX Box* - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r36s6R (Windows 10 Education) Dell Dimension XPS B800 - Pentium 3 800Mhz, RDRAM In progress projects: *Skylake Tower* - Pentium G4400, Asus H110 *Trash Can* - AMD A4-6300 *GPU Test Bench* *Pfsense router* - Pentium G3220, Asrock H97m Pro A4, 4GB DDR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin's Creed Odyssey maxes the 2600x before the 1070, for example 2600X is just a higher binned 2600 that's one of the reasons the 2600 is arguably the best value chip because it's cheaper than the 2600X and you can still overclock it as far as a 2600X whilst a 2600X has very little OC headroom. In general you'd get a 2600 if you plan to OC or a 2600X if you don't. So CPU-wise it shouldn't make that much of a difference between the two. With regards to bottleneck, that depends on the game like you've shown and what you're running it at. 1080p gaming shows a lot more of the CPU bottlenecking the GPU whilst at 1440p the game becomes less reliant on the CPU and moreso on the GPU so you notice less bottleneck. I also don't know how AC: Odyssey is but I remember people saying that AC: Origins wasn't well optimised for PC gaming so it's not very representative. But I can't speak for myself so I'll leave it at that. My advice would be to get a 2600 with a GTX 1070 (for that price range maybe go for a 1070 Ti but depends on budget, country and etc.) and OC the 2600 to 4.0/4.1 GHz which is pretty much on-par with the performance you'll get from a 2600X.
