Virtual machines is pretty much a prime candidate for Ryzen, if only for the extra cores.
Definitely, if you want to run numerous VMs I wouldn't get anything except the R7 1700 right now.Thats what i've been thinking myself surely it will run better that a 7700 and even better that a old 2600k will it now ?
Thank you for your reply

Cinebench score did not change at all but gaming wise its definitely a difference.
Overwatch is higher too but I did not measure that, just believe me when I say my fps was around 225 for most of the time compared to 190 to what I was getting before.
*I have not tried to replicate this by re-enabling HPET but its worth a look for any gamers.
I have no clue what happened with the firestrike benchmark but the geforce overlay was reporting the exact same fps as the benchmark was. The physics scene was the most impressive for me, usually it hovers around 60 and on a 144hz screen 60 vs 80 fps is noticeable*
If anyone else wants to post their finding that would be helpful to see if HPET does cause a performance hit or its just a case of the Mrs pouring redbull into my computer when I'm not here.

Via command prompt. I rebooted and tested the above.

What os is gavin using?
EDIT: Sounds like you have to enable/disable in both windows AND the BIOS.
Using windows 10 home.
The CH6 does not seem to have an option for it. I ran it in command prompt and rebooted. I am overclocking in pstate. The scores from before were taken when i overclocked in manual mode. Though i cant imagine this will have such a big impact.
