Most of it are still doing last-minute touch up due to some issue with motherboard 

Hi..

What's your youtube channel link?

Interestingly someone on reddit mentioned this:

As a guy that works with video transcoding, virtual machines and games...  this thing is perfect 

Ya it is priced similarly.

R7 1700 priced around RM 1600 whereas 7700k around 1.5k?

But strangely, the review that i gave differs from most popular reviews
Most reviews state that Ryzen gaming is behind 7700k but from the link that i gave it is closer or on par with 7700k.
Something not right here 

Maybe goldfries can confirm why the discrepancy?

For whats worth, if someone chooses to spend more than RM 1.5k on the CPU alone then goes on to play at resolutions below 1440p seems kinda stupid.

Ryzen results seem pretty clear to me. You want 80% performance of a i7 6900K at less than half the price, you go for any of the Ryzen 7 chips. Provided you are clever enough to game with a decent 1440p/4K resolution.

You want to game at 1080p, do the world a favour and get the i7 7600K. RM 1.5k for a i7 7700K that seems only good for gaming is not worth it over the much cheaper and similarly capable in gaming i5.

AMD seems to suggest that its not optimized for gaming yet(based on their statement to pcper) and all this while games have been optimized by default for intel as it has been the performance leader for the past decade. I'll reserve my judgement when the entire Ryzen product stack is out. If till then they still have performance issues in gaming, then gamers will have to default to intel for gaming.

Gamers Nexus got it right. R7s are i7 in Productivity at half the price and a slightly overpriced i5 in Gaming. Well 1/2 x 2 is really 1.

If you enable CUDA acceleration rendering does it eliminate the need for stronger CPU or it will still scale accordingly?

Whoa... what happened? 

All the hyping up pointed to 1700X / 1800X being a beast for gaming performance.

Instead, with Intel's price cut + lead in gaming performance, there is little to get excited about Ryzen, unfortunately.

Good brief about Ryzen:

goldfries i saw your post last week at FB that u use RX-470 G1 to test Ryzen? What is the result?

Reading the reviews, praise for the sheer power of Ryzen for content creators, which is not something I would be interested in. No way this is a 5/5 from me, just my opinion.

I think not so much gap in between asal can 60FPS solid in between. 

If you put 1080Ti or Titian XP into the mix, Ryzen 1440P performance is just like 1080P again.
