Well I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and it runs very nicely with the AI so I would expect your experience to be even better.
It's alive! Light strip, Logitech mouse, and Razer Keyboard all have controlable lighting, plus I have a lava lamp on the desk. Hopefully before the end of the month I'll have a G29 in hand too. I am in love with this Razer keyboard's lighting effects... And it is really comfortable. Glad I put the money into a nice keyboard. My laptop got 30FPS on lowest settings in Beam, I honestly laughed when I saw how good the FPS was with all graphics settings maxed with this set up.
Just got my g29 in the mail. Lots of wires on my tiny desk now. The shifter needs a book to clamp onto the keyboard slider being that the top of my desk is so thin. If you give a mouse a cookie... Playing Beam on a wheel for the first time makes me feel like I'm 16 and learning to drive all over again. I did not miss those days, but I'm sure once I'm use to this it'll be great. I can do alright in first person, but third person plus a wheel... Nope.
Just about anything modern will not pair very nicely. I literally had a g2020 equivalent to hand over the weekend while doing some work for someone else, paired with a 1050Ti, still couldn't run anything.
Guess I'll be using this piece of crap... And the CPU is most of the time running 195°F/90°C.... Oh wait, I can't even afford a GTX 780 Ti. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
Current CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k Current RAM: 16 GB of dual-channel DDR3 (1866 MHz, Intel XMP enabled) Upgrade CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X (16-core, 32-thread) Upgrade RAM: 64 GB of quad-channel DDR4 3200 MHz I am looking forward to trying some RAM disks with this monster of a CPU when I order the parts and get it setup. Finding a compatible AIO liquid cooler that fits TR4 was a pain but I managed to find one that will fit my case quite nicely (240mm).
I want a little clarification regarding Intel's best CPUs: The 9900K is the best for gaming and the 9980XE a jack-of-all-trades?
9900k is overkill for gaming, and if you restrict it to Intel's advertised tdp rather than the figure they actually set it to, beaten by loads of other stuff, including other intel products like the 8700K and also the Ryzen 2700X, plus a few 3000 series parts 9980xe, that's for workstations, not meant for bein a jack of all trades, it's needed for the tiny handful of people that need a massively multithreaded workload. --- Post updated --- The 9900K situation is great. They advertise it as 95W. Except the microcode file they shipped all vendors, people have reverse engineered, they set it to target 125W. As a result, some.motherboards that show the raw tdp figure will even display 125W, and most allow tweaks and such, set it to 95W manually. It can't boost properly. The 9700 and 9800 are also impacted by this though with a 110W setting. Intel loves to say their chip is better than the AMD 2700X, and maybe they're right, but fact is when you set the 9900K to its advertised 95W, the 2700X is faster. Also means you need a beefier than advertised cooling solution. Though both are null points, these are high end K/X parts, probably already using high end coolers, disabling power limits, driving clock speeds higher than stock
All "Extreme" series chips (the ones with the X/XE in the end) are for workstations then (or just the behemoth the 9980XE is?) And, are the newer Ryzen proccesors better than the 9900K (talking especifically about the 3950X)?
even the 3900X can be better than the 9900K, though ultimately the 9900K issue is pretty non important due to how its a K series part so most people probably are using beefy cooling and wont care that its actually a 125W CPU not 95 XE isnt for mainstream, its for workstations, the entire X/XE line is for workstations.
I'm pretty sure that if you were to update using it, you'll still end up getting it activated for free
i have a i7 8700 and no GPU Yet but was playing and now after every car crash the says GPU unresponsive but was working fine without one before all this crashing of the game
