It's really hard to come by presently, they seem to have a lot of pre-orders, but mostly £320+. I found the MSI MEG Creation for only £420, which seems like a pretty sweet deal for someone looking at a very high end system, more so than the Asus anyhow.

True. Pricing went bit up -_-
Looks like it's time to wait until the sales then
I'll keep saving and see what comes up.

Yeah that’s my thought, either proper Zen 2 with 12 cores or TR4 will drop a bit and I’ll jump.
Yes. Looks like my upgrade path will be 7nm 12 core. Should last me for years. X399 had massive upgrade potential with all those lanes m.2 and NVME RAID. My logic is I just need to stay ahead of the average users performance as that's where most software is pitched.
I don't see an X399 setup now, being caught by future average mainstream for a long time.

Does anyone have any experience of using a 1950/2950 for retro PC gaming, mainly from GOG? Just wondering if you had encountered any compatibility issues. I guess you can always switch to game mode if there is a problem so maybe I have answered my own question.
What's your cinebench score with it?
At stock?
yes why that?
Just making sure it was perfoming as it should. I can get 3500 with overclocked 1950x if you want to compare the overclocked results.
mine boosts to 3.9-4.3ghz at stock on cinbench they run at 3.7Ghz
rerun it after closing some vm's 3100 now lol

Virtualisation enabled zaps a bit of performance too, at least that's what I've found.
i need it for vmware, run multiple vm's
But that will just be 1 or 2 cores boosting. How far can it go with all core boost?
seen 8 cores still 3.9/4 16 cores 3.7

Me too, although I use Hyper-V. Worth noting in case comparing with other results. I tend to disable it if trying benchmarks, which isn't often.
On that note, are you able to invoke Ryzen Master with virtualisation enabled? I always see an error when I try it.

Hmm. You should be able to get all cores at 4.1 GHz.

Can I just ask what you guys run on your VMs ? Just curious is all.
Was thinking of maybe going to threadThread on 7nm but I'm at a loss to imagine what I would run on a VM that would require me to move to HEDT. I guess maybe an SQL server for work, but then I would only really use it for test restores and the like, nothing I couldn't do on a standard desktop really.
Only other thing I can think of is running an SBS for the wife's company or something.
