there's gonna be a talking head video today that's probably going to seem like it's being done by either a drunk or someone high on drugs because I am tired I have spent I don't even know how much time anyway I stayed up pretty much all night last night finishing up the Terry Crews bill which gets delivered in two days you guys will of course have a video on that hopefully next week but if my eyes are bloodshot and my train of thought just seems to derail really easily at least that's why so what's a thing you know I'll be honest I'm a kind of impressed by its proportions I know right all right let me show you something here I kind of like the thin ones but this one it's about form-factor yeah but mine can fit in tight spaces with girth you can open tight spaces it's like a master key whether you like thick or thin the ITX lineup from fractal design is sure to have something that tickled your fancy remember it's not the size that matters it's all about how you use it not exactly the girl open Garrett David skirts is no contest though there's content stirred by now you've probably heard that risin 5 is launched unfortunately this video today is not about risin 5 even though I have it I haven't had a chance to even take it out of the box yet because I've been so busy with the other project that I just mentioned but I what I am going to do is I'm going to tell you what the last 30 days have been like using Rison as my daily driver and although the previous video about that went up on the 20th since I said I'm going to be using it for 30 days I was actually already 10 days into that 30 day challenge having moved into the studio on the 10th of March and it's now the 11th of April so I've got a good 30 days base of what it was like using Rison for 30 days I'll go ahead and say the three things I'm going to really focus on on this video are the video live-streaming video creation content creation editing things like that and of course gaming if you're into things like compiling development work and virtualization I don't do any of that in my day-to-day workflow so I don't have any experience talk about with that that'd be more like something you'd want to ask Wendell about so with that out of the way in the fact that this is just a talking head video feel free to minimize this so that my face isn't inconveniencing the pixels on your trust me wouldn't want to stuck pixels because of this face that only a mother could love now let's talk about live streaming real quick unfortunately when I did my live stream and you guys can watch the replay here at least some of it go sample it so you can see what I'm about the reference here a lot of people just didn't get it I think people failed to realize although it mentioned this tells blue in the face I think a lot of people just didn't realize I don't use a capture card i was not capturing something happening on a different machine I was capturing captured caption and capturing what was happening on that machine as it was happening I was live encoding 10 megabit per second h.264 1080p 60fps on the same machine I was gaining on on a game like Ghost Recon wildlands which is extremely taxing of any system so being able to maintain 60fps was an extreme chore for any CPU and rise in 1,800 X at 4 gigs did that for me now of course we had some low FPS at times we had a couple of dips down into the 40s well a few dips down into the 40s but it's honestly not that surprising given how taxing Ghost Recon is and there still loved optimization that needs to take place and optimization and risin over the last 30 days has been happening and things are getting better and in only 30 days time it's not that bad I would have liked to have seen that happen before it launched but the fact that we're seeing it is a good thing now I moved on to GTA 5 which we know is extremely CPU bound and still is able to maintain a 60 FPS average now fortunately again we did have some lows down into the mid 30s on that one depending on what was happening in the game but the important thing to realize on these games as I was running them at their highest presets at least in Ghost Recon I had turf effects turned off because that wrecks any GPU but these were being rendered 10 megabit per second as I said 60 FPS live encoding on these games that are demanding at their highest presets that is something you could never dream of doing with an FX CPU so that shows how far AMD has come and tried doing that on the 7700 K and what about content creation well I'm going to shamelessly plug another video of mine that actually did pretty well a lot of people watched about using Rison for things like Adobe Premiere Pro I no problems I would be hard-pressed if you had a blind taste test of what it was if you had a 69 hundred K system set up next to a Rison system and had a sheet over them and then just had a mouse a keyboard in a timeline and said edit in this timeline and try to identify which towers which I wouldn't be able to to be honest with you in fact when it comes down to encoding the exact same timeline as you guys saw in that video it's about a two minute two-and-a-half minute difference over the course of what it was at 11 minute video I think it was I could tell you right now those two minutes some would argue over the course of a year and how many videos you render how much time that adds up to you're like that's just wasted time no I don't look at it that way because while the videos encoding I don't just sit there twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to be done i multitask and I do other things while that's rendering so it wouldn't affect my my workflow now if it took like 50% longer for Rison to render then yeah I'd probably noticed that but I can tell you over the last 30 days I have not been sitting here going I miss money until machinima Intel machine I've actually been perfectly content using Rison over the last 30 days and of course we are talking about the 1,800 X though for 500 bucks it should be a good experience it is the fastest of the rise end chips currently now yeah you can overclock 1770 hundred x didn't get near that performance but I'm just for the sake of simplicity it's the fastest chip that they currently offer now the thing about that video is it wasn't very crazy when it comes to the timeline a lot of videos you guys have seen have had heavy color correction especially since I shoot an S log here on my FS 5 there's a ton of post-production that has to be done on these videos a ton of color correction which can add a lot of render time to any CPU and I'm proud to say that the render time on the rise end has stayed right in line with the Intel offering like I showed you in that video so it hasn't been noticeable to me now it's a little bit noticeable when it comes to something like the 69 50 X because that's 20 threads of processing power but when it comes to encoding on the 59 60 X compared to the horizon it hasn't been noticeable so I can confidently recommend the Rison 7 CPUs any of the 3 to content creators now what about gaming I think most people would agree that using an 1800 X for the sole purpose of gaming wouldn't exactly be the most efficient use of funds but I can tell you right now that gaming on it with too tight next Mac well cards here that are pushing two years old now at this point it's more noticeable than I'm using older cards and it is and I'm using an AMD CPU versus an Intel CPU yeah I say the tight next Maxwell's are old or dated they're two years old now based on an older core and it's definitely noticeable GPU cores are moving extremely fast these days especially with Nvidia time line but gaming on them in the ultra wide qHD 34 40 by 1440p piano behind me hasn't been a problem as you guys know as resolution scales higher it puts more of a load on the GPU than it does on the cpu so again no issues are no complaints there in fact I found myself wanting to kick my own ass for putting the tight next Maxwell cards in there and being lazy and using cards that already have blocks on them then putting my 10 80s in there Pascal 10 80s because there are a lot more power-efficient in just as fast because that's why you guys see the side panel open here they get really hot and that evolve case unfortunately is not very well engineered when it comes to air flow especially for water cooling and radiators and stuff yeah I find myself taking the top off from the side panel off often to keep the GPUs cool not the CPU but the GPUs and speaking of CPU though it really sucks that AMD decided to do the whole twenty degree offset because in none of the marketing material and none of the reviewers guide that they sent I checked and triple checked after you guys pointed it out mention that there is a damn 20 degree offset in there to make it more consistent with the temperatures of the 1700 when it comes to the fan profiles that's stupid it just left people like me going why the hell is it ranks are damn hot how am I getting 85 C on water which then of course left the jokes of a cooler furnace no it's actually running pretty cool overclocked at 65 see no complaints there anyway that's just a rant I have no idea why they did that an AMD just stopped it but anyway to wrap up this talking bobblehead video from the perspective of a content creator and a gamer I have no problems recommending this CPU to someone who does both I would probably if you're purely a gamer would wait to check out what they 15th or the fork or eight thread variant has to hold I haven't been for hands on with that I'm sure there's tons of use reviews on the internet already haven't watched a single one so I'm going to be completely green and new when it comes to checking out risin five I would probably see what those CPUs hold in terms of gaming been blowing money on something like a four or $500 CPU if you're only gaming it doesn't make sense to spend that much on your CPU especially when eight threads is more than enough for gaming it will be for a while anyway I hope this video has had some meaningful substance to someone out there trying to decide what to do or maybe on the fence about riot I have not been in a rush to go out and create the new studio pcs I guess that I've got several 6900 kay is to use I've got another 69 50 X to use I'm doing some more builds for the studio another centerpiece boutique build like skunkworks put to use here at the studio and have a big over-the-top unnecessary PC as another centerpiece of channel I have not felt the need to run out and do those I just haven't because this PC has done a phenomenal job at keeping up with the aggressive workflow that I need from day to day now we've got multiple systems to build here in the studio we'll be building some Rises on systems systems for display and of course Nick needs his system because he's going full time next month so he's gonna need a system to sit at and work at anyway guys let me know if this videos helped you in some way this has just been one person's perspective and experience in using this now for the last month it's actually been nice it's been really nice I could have never done this with FX Rob probably would have thrown myself off the second-floor balcony if I had to go back to using FX with the aggressive workflow that I have now with running this channel anyway thanks for watching guys see you in the next one
