We got 4.0GHz out of a 1700 today!
Seems they hit 3.9-4.1GHz when overclocked, so 1800X performance essentially, bargaintastic! Intel are doomed!

I'm sure a 300mhz clock is doable....I'm defo getting one...
I'm also thinking of ditching Intel and NV selling my X34 and going Vega
If gaming is your primary use then don't, Gsync is superior to Freesync imo.
I suppose with it being a hardware solution then it just 'works'
But Ryzen looks like it has great potential for multi-threaded gaming

Great news man!!! OcUK would sell a nice overclockable 1700 by the bucketload
Screw it, I'm getting one to play with

Yes but RX 480 + Freesync monitor is a hell of a lot cheaper than say a 1060/1070 + G-Sync monitor!
Also RX 480 + 4k Freesync in Doom running Vulkan really is something else!

True. I guess you get what you pay for!! Would be nice to try a proper Freesync gaming monitor though (with 30-144hz and LFC). This LG implementation might not be the best.

Most of the big YouTubers have stated that G-Sync/Freesync are identical when on a level playing field i.e. 30 - 144Hz so with it being cheaper I think AMD have played a very clever game here by getting Freesync out to more vendors across all cost levels. If AMD have plans for Vega a bit similar to Ryzen then the game is certainly afoot and AMD are back with a bang. At the end of the day that will be better for all of us.
Having used both at 30-144Hz from Asus ROG vs Dominator, they're both identical from my experience really.
In the blind test something would be extremely hard pressed to notice any difference what so ever; bar Freesync being cheaper.

If they consistently clock to 4ghz then indeed it will a chip of legend for £319

Nice you got a 1700 @ 4ghz.
Can you break the Nda by being anonymous and post benchmarks?
If you don't want to post the benchmark at least say something regarding single thread speed and multi thread speed or any rumor.

Same here, I'm not pre-ordering, I'm also not going to get one until after Vega but thank God it'll be a lot cheaper than it would have been from Intel

We could do with a lot more people doing this to let Nvidia and Intel know that we are not amused with how they've been treating us.

How good Freesync's is depends on the monitor, There's a lot of meh Freesync panels but if you do your homework and get the right Freesync monitor there's no discernable difference from what I've seen and been told.
Ill always buy into performance first regardless of company but AMD have produced a great chip it seems and even if it's on par with current intel chips I'll switch Depends on vega and pricing /performance I guess
The mere fact it beats an intel £1000 chip is reason to jump ship
Competition finally

Seems like a good motherboard is needed though for sure

What happened to abandoning the pursuit of material gains easy?
Looks like Ryzen might be the answer. I could get rid of a couple of pcs and run more VM assign cpu cores to them ...What happened to abandoning the pursuit of material gains easy?

Looks like the 1700x is going to be a really nice gaming Cpu. Beating the pants of a 7700k in Gta.
