New VM build

x470 board!!!!

checked to see if you need GPU for each VM ? few times seen depending on the set up GPU is needed for each screen rather then one gpu for multiple - again depends on the OS/applications

x470 boards should be able to handle 4 dimm slots better as well! dont expect to oc the 2700x high though with 4 sticks as IMC is pushed hard

ditch the stock cooler, if you got the cash replace. have 2700 running at 4.1ghz on a 45mm thick 360 rad and hits 60c when gaming - my chip wasn't good though :(

If going for the 1950x - a board like the Asrock Taichi would be a good board and save you a packet over the Auros Extreme

lol, just bought the Auros Extreme. Luckily only paid £310 on fleabay.

So yeah I think I'm going for the 1950X option because, while a £350 1920X is unbeatable value £/performance, I think the extra cores will come in use.

Thanks for notes about x470 though. Factoring in the cost of a decent cooler and it didn't end up being that much cheaper.

About to go and order the rest of the parts this afternoon I guess. Cheers for all the advice.

One thing was I saw there's two 3200 Mhz RAM options than seem about the same price. Would either of these (Corsair Vengeance LPX and Crucial Ballistix Sport AT) be better than the Team Vulcan 3000 Mhz (and is there any issue with the mobo going up to 2933 Mhz then 3466 Mhz OC?)
 
New x399 and 2nd gen should handle faster speeds but all based on Samsung B-Die. Normally play it safe and 3000hz for standard ram .

After knowing details about x570 boards, .Wouldn't touch x470 unless flagship
 
Getting a bit worried the combo of 1950X + Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Pulse 8GB won't, after all, be able to drive quad 4K monitors. Can anyone with experience put my mind at ease?
 
Sorry I don't get GPU specs. Where does that say it can run all four screens at 4K?

I only see "3840x2160" through HDMI/DP and also "Quad HD" which is just 1440p. Nothing saying 4 x 4K.
 
Output
1x DVI-D
2x HDMI
2x DisplayPort 1.4

Resolution
3840x2160 (120Hz) Pixel DisplayPort Resolution
2560x1600 (60Hz) Pixel Dual Link DVI Resolution
3840×2160p (60 Hz) HDMI Resolution
 
as far as i'm aware all rx570 8gb cards will run 8k resolution (ie 4x4k monitors).
not sure why sapphire website doesn't explicitly state it. i think the other manufacturers do though (ie gigabyte, msi, asus).
the 4gb cards don't though - but you never said anything about 4x4k monitors, hence why we never considered it.

other thing is...supporting the resolution is all well and good. but i suspect that it'll run out of grunt pretty quickly depending on what you're doing.

for example this 8k60fps youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHUOCxVT5ro
takes 80% load on my 1080ti!

I'm not concerned about the cable throughput but about the total power of the card.

i think first of all, you need to tell us what you're doing with the 8k resolution. if it's nothing gpu intensive, like displaying a semi-static webpage, the obvs no, you don't need a high-end card. any mid-range gpu capable of displaying 8k is sufficient.

90% web pages, spreadsheets, dashboards etc But as noted Flash seems awfully CPU intensive I'm not sure if that's something that can be hardware accelerated if you have say 16 Flash Windows open through VMs or Docker.
