Ryzen 2600 or 2700 or other? for Photoshop/3D

[blazed]

The price difference between the 2600 and 2700 is around £100 more

Now I'm under the assumption that I should get 2700 for work.

But im not sure if Photoshop and 3ds will benefit from the 2700 too much. I don't render much, and don't need to render out super fast.

Do you recon the 2700 still a worthwhile over the 2600?

Any better CPU recommendations? maybe even the cheaper 1600?

I have a i5-2500K right now and its kind of getting sluggish.

@malachi @jigger 2700 is at £239 atmo and 2700x is at £290, would 2700 be better for value?

@muon Unfortunately the 8700(k) are very expensive in comparison to the ryzens and whilst they do provide better performance for photoshop, the small % in performance is not worh the price difference IMO.

I saw a TR 1920X today for £295 nearly same price as 2700x, shame it comes with no fan and motherboards are expensive as hell for that CPU socket!

Do you have a cpu cooler that would work with these cpus already? The cooler that comes with the 2700 is not as good as the one that came with the 1st gen Ryzen. The 2700X's cooler, otoh, will work at stock clocks for sure.

Nope i dont maybe i should wait for a ryzen 2700x offer. Isnt the stock cooler ok to run if you dont OC though?

I did some research before I upgraded from a Xeon E3 1230 V2/Core i7 3770 to a Ryzen 5 2600. I use DXO and the Adobe CS. I looked at these articles:

There is not much in it TBH. Here is my review of the Ryzen 5 2600:

Here is my DXO comparison:

The Ryzen 5 2600 was a massive improvement.

Nice i was also looking at PS benchmark one, I was also thinking of going with the 2600 but people recommending 2700 over it.

Yes, without oc the stock cooler is sufficient. You can even disable SMT. So, just 8 cores. At stock, your TDP will only go up to 45W. 8 cores on 45W! About 10c cooler. That's on the R7 2700.

Ok thanks, the 2700x looks much better though, and probably better as it doesnt need any settings, hopefully it will get a black friday offer.

Make sure you also invest in an SSD or two also if you haven't already.

Got a samsung 500gb ssd that one is sorted my ideal setup right now 2700x, a B450 motherboard, and 3000mhz 32GB, added onto my old build of GTX 770 and PSU.

Just want PS to work smooth as a whistle at large resolutions with lots of tabs open.

2700x, with your SSD and 'nuff RAM and you be good to go

Dude I went with a 2600X for £153 "like new" but damaged box.

The price difference between that and the 2700x is £137.

I'll see if any black friday deals come up for 2700X, how much of price gap would you say is the Ryzen 2700X worth over the 2600X as far as your opinion goes?
