Oooh my 5820k hasn't depreciated at all, if Amazon sales/price for the used unit are to be trusted. I bought it in a bundle deal, that brought the 5820k to around $340 or so cost when I bought it.
If I could sell it at $370/380 and my Asus X99a Sli Plus Mobo for $180 or so. I would recoup my entire bundle cost and the ram would have been free lol. Well minus fees and shipping which wouldn't be too bad.

10 more days probably. Latest round of benches posted are quite "official" as in they came directly from AMD, and solely because of that I wouldn't put too much faith in them. Anyone find it a little bit odd that we still have no leaks of actual gaming performance, just the Cinebench again and again? We really need to see proper benchmarks.

That reminds me, I need to get the module for my Seidon 240m liquid cooler.

I find it a little weird but tbh I don't care too much. If it performs the way it does in the various other software benchmarks then I doubt it wil be lagging that much behind in Intel in terms of gaming performance.

craigslist/ebay/gaf bst? I prefer selling in person, so I use the former.

Come on AMD, make it rain motherfuckers!
Gaming benchmarks presented in the same way as the usual leaks would be put into question a lot more since there is not always an easy way to standardize them. All synthetic benchmarks leaks point to an awesome perf/money/watt CPU.

The biggest elephant in the room is what kind of performance will we see in games which are unable to take advantage of eight cores. There are a lot of such games still and it's interesting to know where Ryzen will end up in them.

AMD stocks up 6.6% today.

Yeah pretty much. A single number would be completely meaningless.
You'd need to disclose the entire system specs, what game it is, scene in the game, settings/resolution, avg/minimums, framerate over time and present the same results for equivalent Intel CPU for comparison.
I'd expect that in a comprehensive review, but not a leak.
Do hope Ryzen lives up to these leaks, and does just as well in games. Would swap over if it does. My days of shelling out max $$$ for every last single digit percent are over when top end hardware breached the $1k barrier.
Ironically my x99 5820k rig went down for the count (thinking the bios update I did bricked the board since the other (unchanged) bios chip wont post either). So it would be prime time to get a 8c/16t cpu and mobo for sub $1k with 6900k+ performance. Also, overclock better than Broadwell-e/Haswell-e on top of that, Ryzen, and we're in for a treat.

The 2011-V3 boards have caused me nothing but trouble. I've had pretty annoying no post a few times already. For whatever reason it won't recognize more two sticks (dual channel) setup anymore. I tested all sticks, RMA'd the Mobo and the CPU both, didn't resolve my issue. I assume it may have been a bios update that's screwed me up as well. Regardless, I just want to move on. First time I've really ever had major issue's with a CPU/Mobo. Even dating back to my first PC's in the early 2000's.
Agreed. Proper benchmarks is definitely a better way of putting it and what I initially meant. The wait continues, but I am somewhat hopeful AMD delivers this time. It can't be that bad in general gaming scenarios, can it? xp
I share this sentiment.

I'd have thought all the hardware sites have their reviews ready to go so if Ryzen was well below the hype or even a disappointment there would have been leaks about that by now?
Shh...
Canadian retailer price.
1800X: $700
1700X: $530
1700: $440

You should probably wait for gaming benches before cracking the champagne open.

At this point ill just wait for Vega. Ofcourse itll have to deliver though.

Watch Dogs 2 will eat up as many cores as you can throw at it. 4 Cores are dead as far as I'm concerned. If you want to future proof at all you need 6 or 8.
Toss that intel ssd and get a samsung
Man i remember the debate was whether to go i5 or i7 for HT. How times have changed.

Yea I went 1070 as there wasn't a compelling reason to go from 970 to 480. Was hoping to see a "490" type card from AMD earlier. Hopefully the Volta has good pricing or multiple models.
I usually am not a fan of paying for heavily diminishing returns. Like the 1070 to 1080 is ~20% on average extra performance for more than 50% extra cost.
I bought a Freesync monitor and refuse to buy a G-sync monitor as well, as the reason for Nvidia to not support it, are very poor, considering they are already benefiting from it on their mobile lines. They are actively blocking a standard that benefits all gamers, and especially those on the low/mid end. Fast support of that standard means the faster gamers on console may get access to it, and TV manufacturers consider adding it as well. Hopefully HDMI 2.1 has that effect.
why won't you let me be optimistic for once!
I wonder if AMD will even make an attempt, to penetrate the gaming laptop market.
The 1080 pays large dividends at 4K.

Oh man. All of this sounds so good, I can't really believe it haha. Please be good. This market needs competition desperately.
Aztechnology

Well the most recent example I can think of is RE7, which pre overclock
You have 4k performance
1070 @37fps
1080 @46fps
~24% improvement.
For Honor
1070 @34
1080 @42
~23%
They both OC about the same so it shouldn't matter much, great OC cards, that pretty much across the board all get to 2000+ mhz clock, some get slightly more memory than others, but core clock is pretty static. Can't even really push the cards as far as they can safely go.
My 1070 gets Base 1080 performance in benchmarks.

They were really shit, tbh. And if there was some good benchmarks, it was always accompained with: "but that's it and it doesn't really perform well"

That's what Raven Ridge is for. ~35W 4-core 8-thread Ryzen with RX 460 class iGPU.
I'd expect a Zen/Vega based HBM2 (or HBM3) APU at some point.

I'm quite certain that Ryzen will be a hit even if it will perform a bit worse than the hype train suggests at the moment. At this point nothing can be worse for AMD's CPUs than what they've had with BD and SR and Zen does look like a massive improvement in any case.
We know it's coming this fall.

There's no HBM on this picture

That's the way I see it.
Regardless, it'll be a fairly large upgrade from my 2500K and the best bang for the buck.
I probably should have upgraded already considering that my motherboard has been acting up for several months now, but I've held off to see what AMD brought to the table. Looks like my wait will pay off in the form of hundreds of dollars saved.

US prices: (Update) AMD Radeon 7 1800X to cost 499 USD, Ryzen 7 1700X: 399 USD
Canadian prices from the same source: 1700X - 529 CAD, 1800X - 699 CAD

^ If that Amazon date is accurate, that would mean that reviews will probably be out within seven days.
To the best of my knowledge, Gamers Nexus is the only PC hardware YouTube channel that always publishes FPS lows.

Why? Those prices are insane for a real OCA core with that perf.... Oh, I see... Yup, pretty insane, uh?

What's the big difference between the 1800x and the 1700x?
