Ryzen 1800x for gaming or 7600k

Drake5 · 8 Jun 2018 at 09:07

Which one would be better? Seems like in benchmarks the 7600k is better, would the 1800x still be good for gaming

What res and gpu?

Drake5 · 8 Jun 2018 at 09:11

1080p, gpu 580

Why not consider a 8600K or 2600X?

Unless you have a high refresh rate monitor or play competition games, you won't actually notice a difference. Perhaps start considering other factors in your purchase like platform cost and upgrade pathway.

1800x easily, 7600k (or any 4/4 cpu) will bottleneck in a lot of games from the last year or so

4 cores as a purchase today is bonkers IMO

AM4 platform seems to have legs too, the 3xxx Ryzen chips might be pretty epic

Do you do anything else with your PC? Both chips are overkill for gaming, even paired with a TitanX or a TitanV

Not quite true... Try playing large maps on BF1 with a 7600k.

Why look at the 1800x over the 2700? They are both pretty similar performance just the 2700 has less power draw from what I can tell? Also similar price.

odd cpu choices and totally different price brackets.smells a bit like bait.if its soley for gaming on a budget get newer i5 or if you have enough a 8700k or the newer i7 8086k basically a 5ghz version of the 8700k.

Kingdom Come Deliverance was also a horrible experience on a 6600k @4.7ghz. Stutterfest/100% usage in towns.

I briefly paired my i7 4770 with a titanX, bf1 was flawless

What is the reason for the choice between these two particular CPU's?

humbug · 9 Jun 2018 at 16:05

None of those. Ryzen 2600 is the best all rounder.

Well yeah you have 8 threads with that as opposed to 4 with the i5..

humbug · 9 Jun 2018 at 16:12

Don't buy 4 thread CPU's in this day and age, not to pair with anything more than a GTX 1050TI / RX 560.

why not an i5-8600K as that closer in price to a Ryzen 1800x (there only about £5 to £10 difference)

:confused:

With an RX 580 he's not going to benefit from either, he might as well just burn the £150 extra cost over the 2600.
