Since August?! Why didn't you pick up a 3600 and use it with your 2070?

Never really thought of it, but then I have to use the thermal paste twice, dreading doing all that, it's all wired and ready to go just deop in chip and gpu, and install windows, I done it before, but, maybe I should you know, I do have a doffernr pre build I bought in may that's where the 2070 is coming from, but I literally dont like using it, so stupid as it sounds because I want my top end beast one

Now, do I go for a 5600x and save a bit of cash, or stretch to a 5800x and forget about CPU upgrades for 4+ years...

5600x is looking like a nice little CPU, I think that's the way I'm going. It certainly won't feel lacking for sometime yet and when that time comes a swap out for a 57xx, 58xx, 59xx is of course always an option.

Come on, its Christmas. Treat yourself to a 5950X

 

[RgFlex]

Do you guys think a 5900x will be enough to stream from the same pc while gaming without a huge performance hit?? Or just got for the 5950x?

 

[Smiffy-UK]

I'm hoping to go for the 5600x and swap it out next year for the refresh of the 5800XT, I hope so anyway. Then I'll pair with the 6800 non-xt for gaming at 1440p at 165hz I'm hoping it'll work like that.

Streaming has almost nothing to do with your CPU, nearly every streaming application has been using GPU encoding for this. Twitch, OBS, Youtube......impact on the CPU is minimal. Not to mention that obviously people have been streaming game for ages without having a 16-core monster cpu. Even the 5900X is an absolute overkill for this.

Are streamers still using CPU to encode video? I know NVENC use to give worse quality but I thought that was pre 20 series?

Did a bit of digging and looks like CPU still provides better quality even for 20 series GPU's. 5900x will be plenty though unless your looking to stream whilst playing at 240fps and even then it will be more about single core performance on most games.

Well thats my 3700x sold, but as pc hardware is my hobby, a small upgrade to a 5000 series cpu will be required.
5600xt or 5800xt that's the question.

 

[BigBANGtheory]

ok so 1900 fclk = 3800Mhz mem speeds for DDR4 then at 1:1:1 ratio on a 5600x, but we might get a little better on 5900x/5950x assuming the controller is somehow binned but probably not much more if any

I would like to know is this is true also.

I have some G-Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB 3600MHz, 16-19-19-39 @1.35V, do you think this is a good kit for the 3800MHz or 4000MHz overclock with acceptable timings to hit the rumoured sweet spot with 5900/5950x?

look like Micron rev E, so a good chance. Relax timings to something like 18-20-20, should be good for 4000

 

[Tensorflow]

Ok that's reassuring, I was assuming it would be around CL18 at 4000MHz which is no worse than buying the sticks outright but for more money.

 

[RIZZEE]

Was looking at getting that G.Skill for a 5900x/5950x, any other kits I should be considering? Preferably 32gb

 

[Tensorflow]

If you are getting the G Skill kit from that huge competitor via their Global US store then it will take a few weeks to arrive

 

[hms_jas]

I bought for my new future build...as long as i can get a 5900X, G.Skill Trident Z Royal 32GB(2x16) 4000mhz (F4-4000C17D-32GTRSB).

5900X CPU has appeared as available at one British retailer! But I can add it to basket, but no delivery is available, and can't select a store to collect from - so might be a bug?

Edit: just checked - all other CPUs are also now showing as available, but delivery cannot be selected at checkout(yet?)
