OcUK Ryzen 2000 series review thread

This will make humbug go super hyper.

It certainly caught my attention.

To this end, we found that, at a given frequency of 4.0GHz, our R7 2700X held stable at 1.175V input at LLC level 4, which equated to 1.162V VCore at SVI2 TFN. The result was stability in Blender and Prime95 with torturous FFTs, while measuring at about 129W power consumption in Blender. For this same test, our 1700 at 4.0GHz required a 1.425V input at LLC level 5, yielding a 1.425VCore, a 201W power draw – so 70W higher – and pushed thermals to 79 degrees Tdie. That’s up from 57.8 degrees Tdie at the same ambient.

So basically if you run a ryzen 2 200mhz or so below its limits, you can run the vcore "way" lower.
 
Seeing how goo the 2700x turned out, I'm genuinely excited about what they might be able to achieve on Threadripper. All core boost at 4ghz and 4.5ghz single core on the cards?
 
It's interesting that given Intel have all the market share and money they could simply cut prices and really cause a stir. I'd love to know what amount of cut they're willing to give AMD as zen+ will only gain more percentage.

use games that matter . or keep head in clouds.

show me top in pubg.top in fortnite top in battlefield 1 mp 64man then i will be impressed.oh wait you cant cause they arent top.only in games no one plays.

They aren't benchmarked because high player count MP games (ignoring the fact that PUBG is a pile of unoptimised **** anyway) are notoriously difficult to gather repeatable stats from. Stop thinking there is a conspiracy everywhere.

If you want a benchmark from a popular game, then how about this?

I suppose you're going to argue that RL isn't popular or that not many games use the unreal engine.

Sadly nope! :(

Like I said I am stuck now. I could just play other games which seem fine,but ATM FO4 is my main game,so its all rather annoying as is the stupid memory pricing.

you can do what I did and just uninstall the patch, there is no known meltdown malware in the wild and several other ways to mitigate risk.

no. what bugs me and its not just about how ryzen performs is in general the benchmarks done each time. most of the ones done with games are where 1 the cpu doesnt matter much or single player or a game that favours ryzen. go look at most of the benchmarks and pull out the big mp games we all playing or the masses are and see how many are in those benchmarks ! i will tell you literally none.why ? because it shows the weakness of ryzen.thats why they not included.dont say pubg isnt optimized play it at 144 fps locked entire game.its fine it just doesnt play well on ryzen.thats why it must be unoptimized i guess :p

as said show battlefield 1 in mp 64 man. which is one of the best optimized mp games beating modern i5s/or a 8700k if you want to make out they are the best at what you say they are.they are great cpus but dont make out they faster than modern intel at games cause then you talking bs.

as said show benchmark with pubg/fortnite/bf1 64mp. as said you cant no one can cause intel is faster in gaming thats why same old silly game benchmarks will be posted.either older games not many play.why do you think that rocket league would be chosen over fornite or pubg ? seriously ? lol.
 
I agree with dg actually regarding the games picked for benchmarking, and I have been banging on about it last few days but I stopped today as it seemed I was probably just annoying people and no one seemed to be taking note.

The games picked for reviews are most of the time games designed to utilise "all cores", it seems to be a deliberate choice as reviewers feel they doing high core cpus a injustice if they bench games that only utilise one or two cores. The problem that I have always stated is that this isnt representative of the overall pc gaming market.

I probably wont mention it again today after this post either.
 

watch

as you ll see basic i5s are quicker than new ryzen in games.nevermind 8700k.some differences are massive.if you on a budget and need a gaming cpu get a i5.
 
you buy the 8700k if you want the fastest for its price.the i5 at 150 pound that beats the top new ryzens at 99 percent of the games has a very big point.even though he doesnt recommend it.if soley gaming on a budget its what you should get.
 
The other thing which I didn't realise was so pronounced is for Ryzen Vega is a better pairing than Nvidia. And for Nvidia better to go Intel.

We knew that before but for some reason it all got forgotten.

If you only game and are on a budget then you buy a console ;-)

If, like most other PC gamers, you do other stuff with your PC, Ryzen now make a lot of sense.
