Official OcUK Ryzen review thread

There's a YouTube tech channel ( I can't remember which) that tested at least 12 games, and while some definitely benefited from having SMT off 3 of them actually performed significantly worse with SMT off. It's not a singular picture.

Well there is also the power issues - look at the bottom part of the review page. It seems Windows power management might be part of the reason too.

In all honesty I really like Gamers Nexus and they do put a lot of effort into their reviews.

I guess we have to understand that they get through a lot of work and can only really review what they have in front of them.

If he became more subjective and went down the road of "well we will see next month when drivers are optimized" and stuff like that then it all becomes pie in the sky.
 
Still nothing from Digital Foundry as of yet? I really like their indepth reviews so i'm a bit surprised that they haven't covered Ryzen at all so far. They seem to have shifted focus over to consoles :(

Digital Foundry said they are doing a "deep dive" with the platform and their review is under way. Will be worth waiting for as it seems they are waiting for the teething troubles to pass and then will have a more definitive review of the whole Ryzen product stack.

They're going to be waiting for a while until we have decent BIOS, drivers and Windows updated..

Better they do wait otherwise if they show even one negative result(due to some issue which is not their fault),everybody on social media would be accusing them of being paid Intel shills trying to discredit AMD.

At least if they wait a bit,it will be a fairer review for the AMD CPUs.
 

This is interesting 4 days worth of review tested both 1700X and 7700K stock and OC running Windows 10 and 7 with SMT on and off but in most games noticed no differences in peformance in both. But something wrong with 5GHz 7700K GTA V on Windows 10 ran 118.6 fps at 1080p, Windows 7 is a lot faster at 164.2 fps. Hmmmm

I think that's probably a good thing. Likely they're doing a 'proper job' with their review.

Some quick figures:

R7 1700 @ 4.0 vs 7700k @ 4.8 (fair in terms of equal representation, possibly biased towards the R7 slightly).

This is with Titan X Pascal and 2*8GB 3200 C14 - i.e not biased towards the i7 with slow memory due to board/bios.

GTA 5 1920*1080

7700k 29% better


Metro: Last Light Redux 1920*1080

7700k 4% better


Witcher 3 1920*1080

7700k 15% better


Ashes of the Singularity (DX12) 1920*1080

7700k 19% better


Gear of War 4 1920*1080

7700k 29% better


Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX12) 1920*1080

7700k 33% better


Total War Warhammer (DX12) 1920*1080

7700k 71% better


7700k - 29% better average overall.

So to summarise, if you only game at 1080p, go for a 7700k, otherwise go Ryzen.

Not at all, as based purely on that review data alone, that would be making presumptions that the performance gap would decrease if there wasn't a gpu bottleneck at 4k. There's a gpu bottleneck. The reviewer even comments on it - page 10. There's nothing there for 1440p sadly.
