AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

AMD no doubt got some great multithreaded performance, I wonder if they can catch up more in games with the 4000 series though, they still a bit behind at 1440p performance if checking DF videos. Some reviews & results do conflict a bit though.

That crysis image is a unlucky one. Because in that video they said that the 3700x pulls ahead of the 9700k in other scenario of the game (crysis 3).

The witcher I don't now. It's strange it is just like 3 fps ahead of the 2700x. That does not make sense. Maybe this was before the mayor update?
 
Yes there will always be certain games that favour one brand of GPU or CPU over another. I play Far Cry 5 but I know it'll always perform better on Intel CPUs unless they patch it, which won't happen because it's too old.
 
DF are pretty good, we all know Farcry doesn't play well on Ryzen, at least out of the box, TW3 and Crysis 3 are also pretty old and probably never got a Ryzen patch.

Over a much broader spectrum there is little in it 5Ghz 9900K vs 3900X + PBO, 5%.

Tweaking Ryzen 3000 Ram timings and IF clock can net you a huge performance boost, enough to catchup.

My 3600 with tweaked RAM @ stock 4.1Ghz CPU clock.

From 82 minimums to 96, same minimum as a 9700K on a 3600.

Yea please thanks, I'd love to get better minimums.

I'm looking at playing FarCry 5 and the one after that, usually gaming on a 4K screen but sometimes use my 1440P monitor so I'm sure it'd benefit when using monitors.

I'm currently going through this guide at the minute OC'ing my 2x16GB Ballistix sport LT 3200CL16 RAM.
So far it seems pretty happy sitting at 3733CL16 and passed several tests at this level.

With the Witcher and a lot of other games it's the minimums where it makes a big Juno from the 2700x.

That's why I made the jump. Minimums and average smoothness is much better.
 
all that extra radiation in the granite city :p you'll probably have an age to wait to get a replacement too

This is my problem. I have a lot of money sitting in other peoples pockets while I wait for a replacement and all of that new hardware that I bought is useless to me right now. Unfortunately, if I go the refund route then I will be forced to pay more for an equivalent system later on because of the price increases.

Good point! I never thought of that!
Aberdeen man I see!
 
What identified the CPU was dead and not the board? Feel for ya :eek:

System will not post most of the time and I get 3 long beeps (memory compatibility errors). Send the entire system back to OC and the CPU was the culprit. I did a lot of testing at home and I was hoping it was the motherboard but lately the motherboard was throwing microcode errors and that made me think that the CPU was probably it. Did the entire troubleshooting routine with rotating ram sticks in slots, taking out GPU, etc and here we are.
