We Switched to AMD Ryzen! TOTALLY WORTH IT!

2017-06-26
so when Ryan was first launched it was claimed to be this multitasking monster very appealing for creators and I can finally attest to that claim and I am so happy I switched to the eight core sixteen thread 1700 X CPU for my main workstation PC find out why right after this investment stores that makes a difference choose toshiba Rd 400 and vme SSDs that are incredibly fast and reliable backed by advanced warranty programs so you can focus on what matters Rd 400 check it out from the description below so goodbye 67 100k you have certainly very well and remember I started using the skylake machine because it was rendering videos faster than my previous 6ko workstation machine so in this video we'll talk about my experience with the 79 X how it handles not just video editing but other intensive tasks for my everyday life you know in front of the computer so we're not just exporting videos but we're doing exporting videos while playing games exporting videos while doing many other things in the background and it absolutely crushes the 6700 K I'm sorry it's not me to you I want to do one of the things while I'm exporting a video I'm going to see 12 CPU utilization bars and we'll just eight we've had a good run but really I just want to try something new Raisa maybe let's see if it was a cool case after all and so I'm very excited about the new motherboard I went from the Z 270 Maximus 8 hero alpha to the crosshair 6 hero and absolutely loved the rear i/o so many USB ports plus that type c41 that eventually catches up I am only using 32 gigabytes of RAM instead of the 64 I had on a static machine but I gotta be honest it's very refreshing to have an AMD CPU once again right now I'm only assembling a test system inside the s3 40 and I'm still waiting on a case very excited to show you guys what I'll be using plus taking a whole different approach on cooling so subscribe to not miss that upcoming video and in order to properly test the 79 3 X in my personal sort of workflow environment I had to design a few benchmarks to explore its full potential so I said to the few sympathetic benchmarks multiple render tests with Adobe Premiere and 4k 1080p and 1080p 60 and for my multi stress environment I had a game downloading and steam I was watching a 4k video refreshing a webpage every 10 seconds while exporting a video which is a very common scenario in my day life and then for the last test I was rendering the video in the background while playing overwatch and recording frame times and exporting times to see which CPU was faster and for the GPU I'm sticking with a GTX 980 from EVGA the FTW edition it has served me very well it's a super quiet card and I can overclock it through easily to gigahertz without breaking a sweat so the first deal business was to update the BIOS on the motherboard as the system was constantly crash if I tinctures it with any of the overclock settings but damn seeing all 16 threads occupied at full load that is a happy feeling my friends now let's get on with the benchmarks and up first is the fire strike benchmark that scores less on AMD about 7% loss that we don't see anymore with the fire strike ultra with the DX 12 times pi benchmark the AMD system on the CPU side scores significantly higher and again in this multi-threaded workflow like Cinebench r15 my overclocked 1700 X gets a 40% better score versus the overclocked 6700 K moving on to premiere this is the most important for my daily use exporting a one-minute 4k file on the right is much faster although I am curious why we don't see a difference in encoding times with in stock and overclock on a 17 100x the same story continues by exporting in 1080p file again the overclock on the 1700 X doesn't seem to matter but it is faster versus the static machine where I did notice difference and faster render times is with a nine-minute 1080p60 export with a 1700 X completing the task much faster saving us over three minutes when both CPUs are overclocked but what I was most surprised about is the multitasking benchmark in which I had that 4k video playing in the background a webpage refreshing downloading a game and rendering that nine-minute vlog it seems that the extra threads on the 1700 X really help to export that video much faster in comparison was only a 6% increase on export times versus nothing in the background while the socratic machine took a 16% hit on export times more interestingly though when I try to gain while exporting a video in the background here my encoding times again the 79 you expose far ahead but surprisingly in comparison to the control point of rendering the video without playing the game it took 30% more time to render the video on the overclocked 1700 X versus only 22% more time at stock settings I'm not sure why this is happening in comparison to the control point but still we are exporting faster when we are overclocked but seeing that 30 versus 20% difference to the control point is interesting and will have to be explored as far as the gameplay goes on a skaldak machine over watch was totally unplayable a lot of micro Sutter it was very hard to aim very unpleasant while a totally different experience on the 1700 X with much smoother aim still not super comfortable but a lot more playable with actually higher fps and much stronger 99 percentile framerate so you would not dip as low or as often as on the 6700 K I also performed warp stabilizer which I use quite often so the skylight chip takes to win here but my editing workflow revolves around proxies rendering a low resolution file with which you edit and it's much smoother playback on the timeline but when so exporting is you're using the full 4k resolution files so exporting those proxies on the 79 recs again was a much faster experience versus uh skylake chip oh hey there NCI XCOM is Canada's leading a tailor for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and get tempted by the weekly deals visit ncx comm for all them sweet deals so what I gotta say I'm impressed I was not expecting the 1700 X to be much faster with those render times I thought that the 67 100k and the 4.5 gigahertz because of those higher frequencies would be you know just like a clear win in Adobe Premiere because other we love the clock speeds but with the eight core 16 threads it seems to you know give that that balance even though we have a much lower frequency so I can save time on exporting and can comfortably do things in the background so let's say creating my thumbnails and Photoshop or watching a 4k video without having that significant hit on the encoding times that we saw with the skylit machine so in this video I want to show the performance metrics that matter to me so if you want to see the full gaming benchmarks I'll link our full review down in description below so what I'd like to do now is get that case for me and also replace the beefier cooler so that we can get those temperatures under control and see how far we can push it if the four gigahertz mark gives us any extra performance so make sure to subscribe for all that so guys let me know if you're as impressed with the performance of the 1700 XS I am and also stay tuned for all the updates that are coming up very soon I'm Dimitri when I recognize thanks so much for watching we'll see you in next video
