On the fence, Ryzen 1700, or i7 7700k, not overclocking

When I had those frame time issues I had a quick google search and came across another user on with an identical issue, watch the GPU usage drop and return to normal again on Bioshock Infinite. Exactly what I had.

It's an older video now with all the Ryzen tweaks since then.

 
Don't own that particular game yet but in a few games like GTA 5 online, the Divison, Dirt 4, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Far Cry Primal and a few others the frame times were better and more even on the 7700K and this was maxed out at 4K with two 1080 Ti's. The Division is very hard on the CPU.

It's the reason I sent the 1800X back in favour of the 7700K.

In Bioshock infinite I had nothing but issues with Ryzen, never did fix it. Popped my Intel board in and the 7700k along with the same Windows 10 install and it fixed that issue immediately.

Frame time issues with the 1800X on Bioshock Infinite, look at those 400ms+ frame time spikes!

Never did fix it, different res, different drivers, disabling SMT which worked for a few mins then the spikes returned.

7700K silky smooth. Spikes at the beginning is just the game/map loading

I had these same issues, it was storage related in my case.
All sorted now though and frame times are perfect in all my games. You jumped ship too early!
 
LOL,Bioshock Infinite runs fine on a FX6300 with a GTX660,so I think it must be some issue on the driver side with your SLI GTX1080TI.

I even tried it on a A6 3670K and an HD5850 and it ran!! :p

Remember,ROTR??

Plus even though a Core i7 7700K that would be the best CPU for FO4,which I do play,at £300+ its a waste of money,as I tend to keep my platforms for at least 3 to 4 years,which I would argue is what many people do. Sure forum enthusiasts will upgrade every year or two,but that is not really practical for most people!

I upgraded to SB when it first game out with a Core i3 2100,so that is how long I have been on socket 1155 - so my only chance of ever getting SKL/KL is if the CPU and mb was relatively cheap.

What is the likelihood once Coffee Lake is out all the Core i7 7700K and more importantly the Core i5 7600K benchmarks will be dropped within a year just like all those pesky GTX1060 3GB ones?? :p

Edit!!


Thats quite an intensive part too. One GTX1080TI at 4K though.

Plus if you are really that worried about getting Intel only,then you should be waiting for Coffee Lake,and especially when the Z390 motherboards are released at the end of the year.

6C/12T at a similar price to a Core i7 7700K with similar single core performance - that sounds like a decent combination there!

Second Edit!!

Even Nvidia are now recommending Ryzen and Threadripper:

https://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/10series/battlebox/

On one of the Nvidia webpages they even did a Ryzen build IIRC.

So methinks,that if that is the case Nvidia will be working on those optimisations over the next few months which is good news for AMD!! :)

Look at that cpu usage lol 10-15%
