I Switched to Ryzen for Gaming & Editing. Here's Why.

2017-07-24
hey what's going on everyone so you read the title already you have a good idea what I'm going to talk about here but I am going to be using Rison for my daily editing gaming PC this is the system behind me I expect a few things will change I build pcs and tear them down like the next week and I still have Walter White three by the way that one's not destroyed yet it's still a good functioning PC but there are some in practicalities involved with X 299 I haven't been found about that I think that the platform is extremely overpriced I think that some other CPUs don't even make sense or should not exist but even though I had the AI 970 100x in Walter White 3 I'm going to be personally using the horizon 1,700 X because I think it's a much more practical CPU and I want to kind of set the example not necessarily people are looking up to me but I think that if I'm going to promote the best price to performance CPU on the market or you know a group of CPUs that are decent for the money then I should be using those myself and that's why I've been using an i7 6700 K for so long that CPU is great for me and I've had a 5820k 6900 K a lot of CPUs that are you know just higher core counts maybe higher frequency is what have you but I've just been very comfortable tuned i7 because I feel like that's all I need for what I do so I'm not going to just show off an eye 970 100x and say hey check this out I've got the CPU oh by the way it makes no sense but I'm going to use it anyway but that's not what I want the channel to be about I want it to be about the best bang for the buck that's what I founded the channel on and I think that rise in 7 and rise in 5 for that matter now our excellent choices for those who are budget conscious at the same time who want the most for their money who want the most power that they can get for what they're paying the horizon 7 1700 is right now the best performance per dollar right and 7 CPU only because you you don't really get an extra 500 megahertz of overclocking Headroom with the 1800 X it just doesn't happen you you be lucky if you get a well Bend 1800 XO to get you to 4.1 4.2 gigahertz good luck I'd say one or two percent of you will get that decent of an overclock and be able to keep it cool enough with like a 240 ml a IO something along those lines and even with this custom cooler here and my right seven 1700 X I still I can barely hit four gigahertz that's with a whopping one point four or five volts that's a lot of voltage maybe recommends around one point three five they say anything above that they're not really recommending so in order to keep the voltage under control if I want this to last me in the long run and I have to worry too much about the CP failing I've kept this one at one point three seven volts and three point eight two gigahertz I think I think three point nine gigahertz it was cool and Cinebench failed a night of 64 so it will probably fail in video rendering too so three point eight right now again the motherboard can handle much higher than that but it really just comes down to the CPU how well bend it is mine's not in that grade but three point eight gigahertz across eight cores and 16 threads it's pretty solid and like I said I did build the system only for gaming in fact I probably video edit more than I played video games just because I don't have a lot of time to do the latter so I think that this chip right here is going to serve me very well it is an upgrade from the i7 6700 K from a video editing standpoint the eight cores are phenomenal in video editing I do get a marginal decrease in rendering time for a five-minute 1080p 60fps video file I always show the same file on the same rendering time so you can see across the board here which CPU is the best by far and when you consider the price of the 1700 or in this case of 1700 X it is the better buy for content creators over the i7 6700 K now in terms of gaming there's nothing wrong with gaming on the Rison 7 CPL say that up front the framerate drop that I've experienced converting from the i7 to r7 is rather marginal that may be a 10 15 FPS Delta or and in 1440p expect it to be a bit more in 1080p because it's a little more CPU intensive and and then IPC starts to really take hold there a lot of games are still relying on primarily 4 cores so having the extra 4 is just future-proofing at this point although we've been saying that since bulldozer that's an entirely different argument but the marginal FPS Delta is nowhere near enough to make me regret switching from the i7 2007 it's just an all around better CPU and especially for the price I would say though that a few select titles are still preferring SMT be disabled that's essentially the hyper-threading equivalent for Rison simultaneous multi-threading so instead of just having a physical cores you have eight cores and 16 threads more about hyper threading SMT is kind of the same way in this video right here so by cops three is one game that I've noticed that experiences rather infrequent FPS drops in the middle of gaming's all hover around 150 160 fps in 1440p max settings with the 210 80s in here and then if I I don't know do something that's pretty intensive on the CP side some kind of physics aspect of the game and explosion maybe particles whatnot if you get into a place where it's pretty heavy on the CPU it will drop immediately down to maybe 50 60 fps and then spike right back up to the consistent 130 150 you know around there and I found that if I disable SMT I don't have any spikes any drops whatsoever it's very consistent and that just comes down to optimization the developers haven't really adjusted yet to the new rising architecture very complicated technical things that are honestly beyond me going to play that caused those spikes but I would say that in most titles you're going to be just fine black ops 3 is an exception it's just one that I've noticed so if you do play game like that I would check forms that's where I found out that that was what was causing my random spikes and when I say spikes but random dips in fps just check those if you play maybe two or three games you want to switch to rise them that could be something worth considering disabling SMT and if all you do is play games and that's what you would get just a more consistent frame rate than it's worth disabling but for the most part like I keep saying you're going to be okay if you just leave it as is maybe give yourself a solid overclock and you should be good to go other than that I'm very happy with the build it's it's not primed yet I don't you can hear like the fluid Turing and there's some air bubbles still on the radiator so I need to flip the PC around a bit let that thing Prime and then it should be a bit quieter but the build looks I think it looks solid considering I build this in like a day and a half I mean it's kind of scrapped it together last minute because I wanted to make the point that you look you don't need a thousand dollar CPU to be comfortable editing content creating and playing video games at the same time Rison seven and even I would argue rise in five those are both excellent CPU lineups for just an all-around computer enthusiast and that's why I'm going to be using the 1700 X as my daily driver of course with 210 ATS in there that's a bit overkill but I would say a single 1070 1080 or 1080 TI will do just fine in most resolutions with that if you like this video or at least appreciate the honesty and switch be sure to give this one a thumbs up I appreciate it give it a thumbs down if you feel you can put off it'd be sure to click subscribe but if you have an RA in stay tuned for I have an interesting experiment coming up something happened to one of my 1080 T eyes keeps overheating it gets extremely hot immediately under load and I know for a fact that that water block is on there as it should be so I think I'm going to remove the water block put the air cooler back on and see if we experience the same spikes could just be a PCB issue we'll find out this is science studio thanks for building with us
