I looked at that a long time ago but decided two-four real monitors would be better.

Not sure what was up with it. Took about 12 minutes to d/l an ISO from IP Torrents and make the thumb drive, meanwhile the windows tool was at like 13%.
Need to do a few clean up things and want to run a few tests but everything seems stable. Sitting at 26C idle but haven't tested any load or any OC. Unfortunately my room isn't much lower than that so I wasn't expecting to be at 23C or anything.
Monitor isn't coming until tomorrow. Boo hoo.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti review: The monster graphics card 4K gamers have been waiting for
wow what a monster, and that's just the reference version. 4K gaming on a single card is now a reality.

that's a reference card on a CPU that isn't the best for gaming. an overclocked 7700k with a 1080ti classified would probably come close.

Review: The Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti is the first real 4K GPU, but who drives it better, AMD or Intel? - ExtremeTech
Fairly interesting benches, 1080ti with Ryzen vs 6900k.

Thanks, I also decided to spend a little bit more and go with the Prime Z270-A. Build came in a touch over $1000, I'm pretty satisfied.

Haha didn't even notice that. Whatever it takes to get AMD back in the race I guess.

Even if the non-OC'd processor is being claimed to beat a 7700k or whatever I'm not trusting this site. That's just dumbass fucking shit.

Yeah if you run in to anything let me know. My install last night went smooth. I didn't have a CD drive but Windows detected everything fine and I grabbed the Asus EZ update utility which grabbed the most current board BIOS and drivers automatically. Will spend tonight and tomorrow putting everything back together and seeing what kind of OC it'll do. Won't be pushing anything crazy with the Noctua.
The guy also said 20 FPS was perfectly smooth. The whole review reads strange.

Even if these check out, the extra cores save em only vs Intel 4 Cores, but only for a few months until Intel unleashes cheaper 6 cores.
While Zens are competative, these results are damning confirmation of some probable L3 cache design issues for Zen.
The better L3 design on Intel 8 cores already kicks Zen butt. Lack of optimizations from Microsoft and game developers is partially responsable. L3 cache for Zen is split in half, essentially into two groups accesible by 4Cores (a compute complex). Thread optimizations need to be made in both applications and the OS.
But Intel still wins by a LOT still in *most* gaming that depends on extremely unpredictable workloads with random memory access patterns. The *only* lone win by Zen is due to its better linear workload prediction (their Sense MI stuff) with the Dirt game. While thread and CCX optimizations will help, they need to fix deeper L3 cache problems with Ryzen when it accesses L3 above acertain threshold (6MB atm). It is looking like some of the L3 cache issues will might not be adressed until Zen+.
Zen is still a decent investment deal to consider for the average gamers upgrading for newer better threaded games, or affordable HEDT workstations.

Yeah his argument is because it was consistently a 20 FPS game that it played smooth. Uh no?
I played OOT the other day and it runs like shit lol

I watched another review the first day that mentioned with Ryzen while FPS might be lower, it essentially does away with the micro stutters and other stutters that normally plague some games with even best video cards. I think that what was meant by "smooth but 20fps".
You know those times when youre playing a game, shits running good and you get that micro stutter thing that essentially pauses everything for a few milliseconds. Definitely noticeable and annoying.

The only problem with the 20fps argument is both OOT and Goldeneye suffer excessively of dropped frame syndrome
It's like he pulled it out of thin air to make a point but it doesn't hold any water.

So anyway, I got the rx480 for my sons comp but it didnt work. So thinking it was bad i sent it back, got a new one today. Still didnt work. So after some investigation online i found out that some old mobos, especially from the sandy bridge era, are just not compatible. Poor kid, he was all hyped for the last week thinking hes gonna be all badass pwning noobs and shit.
So off to microcenter i go this weekend to get new mobo and proc from this decade. Alredy bought him new ps, new ssd, new ddr4 ram and new case from amazon, should be here sat.
