haha i am thinking budget saving
cause currently using i7-3770 without gc lol

thanks guys! well, what's the difference between 1600 and 1600x? is 1600 locked?

All Ryzen processor is unlocked, X model have higher base clock speed and Extended Frequency Range(XFR). You can overclock non-X SKU to similar or slightly lower speed than X SKU.

hmm.. i wonder is tht the anidees crystal cube case

gtx 1070 for 1440p
(but i prefer fury x or maybe vega if vega really price better than gtx 1080? coz seems ati gc driver work well with ryzen than currently damn nvidia)

Otherwise, go for rx580 if going gaming 1080p onli @@

Haha i am using 4k monitor

4k, u need gtx 1080ti or vega XD

haha that why
> <
any noob card intro at least got display port?
use till vega out then i change XD

Every other card from GTX 1050 onwards has DP.

This is what I'm trying to tell people.

Not being able to push the high-end GPU to optimal frame rate doesn't mean it's not good for gaming.

It's subjected to the game engine and the GPU used, in many cases you won't even feel the difference unless you actually benched and compare.

So true.
While reading reviews, was a bit let down when Kabylake can run some games at 130+ fps while Ryzen 7 only 110+ fps, but what the hell I want with over 100 fps when I'm not competitive FPS gamer as long can run games with max setting at over 60fps ( or 75fps will be best ), no complaint

Ideally you should get something that pushes the GPU but in many games like say GTAV, the difference isn't that apparent.

1600 and 1600x are unlocked and both can be overclock.

Only thing with X is XFR where it's like a automatic turbo boost to higher frequency when the CPU detects ample of temperature + voltage that can support higher frequency range.

Pls correct me if I am wrong

It is as what you've explained.

"AMD's upcoming Ryzen processors are "unlocked," in that they feature unlocked base-clock multipliers that let you easily overclock them; yet a few of its variants feature a brand extension "X." As our older article details, the "X" refers to availability of the XFR (extended frequency range) feature. Think of it as a second stage boost that rewards good CPU cooling with higher CPU clocks set automatically. The Ryzen R7-1800X, R7-1700X, R5-1600X, R5-1400X, and R3-1200X feature this. "

Wrong. All models have XFR.

Just that X models the XFR is at 100Mhz, the non-X is at 50Mhz.

Just because TPU published it doesn't mean it's correct.

Many sites rush to publish but don't bother to update.

GTX 1070 will under perform on certain titles.

Ah, I see. So it's just 50Mhz extra for the auto-overclock. Is there any other distinction between the regular and the X model to justify the increase in price? Thanks

X model is typically higher clocked out of the box.

That's basically it.

I have 5 Ryzens with me.

1800X, 1700X, 1700, 1600X and 1500X.

Guess which one is my favorite?
