Until someone can really prove that it is an Nvidia card optimization we can't actually say for certain it's an "nvidia card optimization for Ryzen" thing.

Intel and AMD Ryzen processors are not equal, you put them at same speed also that doesn't mean they're equal in any way.

Hitman for example, GTX 1080 on Intel processor gets almost double the average framerate on Full HD high details.

The clock speed difference isn't far but the gap is huge, it's more than optimization.

There's a reason why AMD through out the entire Ryzen Tech Day event talks very little about gaming, VERY.

Take it from me, who actually has 5 Ryzen processors and used with 3 Nvidia cards 1060, 1070 and 1080.

1. There's nothing to worry about

2. As what eDwanD mentioned above, it's actually correct BUT not enough details provided. The performance drop happens
- only on certain titles
- gap varies from title to title, and varies from the resolution
- the gap narrows on lower end cards
- the gap narrows on higher gaming resolution

Clearer now?

So no need to worry. It'll work just fine. If you use Adobe Premiere Pro you will benefit from the processor cores and the CUDA on GPU for Mercury Playback.

My current rig for video work and gaming is on Ryzen 7 processor, usually the 1800X and cards either an RX 470 or GTX 1070 but they get swapped around from time to time.

He already has a GTX 1060. So now you can add an SSD and go with higher speed RAM.

nani .......

As much as I support AMD, there are things that I can't "accept" because of personal experience. He's not wrong but not all titles are such.



No, Ryzen X Nvidia is OK actually. You see even many titles the results are very close.

Also for cards like GTX 1060 and RX 470 - they work the same on AMD Ryzen setup.

I no need to check Linus, I personally tested.

Furthermore if software optimization is an issue, it shouldn't be affecting the framerates so badly, even at same clock speed.

All my video editing rig has SSD and HDD / SSHD.

HDD / SSHD for video storage.

Even for HDD right, the read / write speed is already plenty fast for video editing.

Rendering of video has all the while being CPU game. GPU is "iffy".

Nope.

I'm one of the (I think rare) people who still thinks that it's fine to run HDD setup.

My HTPC is using HDD setup, it's the best path to go when space is more important than speed.

If you have 1 rig to setup for video purpose - 256GB SSD vs 4TB HDD, I'll take 4TB HDD any day.

more core, more power consumption?

Nope. You have to see other factors.

Ryzen 5 1500X (4 cores) = 65W TDP
Ryzen 5 1600 (6 cores) = 65W TDP
Ryzen 5 1600X (6 cores) = 95W TDP
Ryzen 7 1700 (8 cores) = 65W TDP

Of course, that's overclocked state.

Let's talk about stock, the one I posted just now are all on stock. That alone tells you that more cores doesn't mean drain more.

Even the Ryzen 5 1500X / 1600X when overclocked to 4Ghz also can draw similarly to the Ryzen 7 models.

So in fact when you calculate how many watts per core, the Ryzen 7 with more core actually does better, which proves that more core doesn't mean drain more power.

I'm just pointing out the flaw in your statement ........

Ryzen 5 1500X (4 cores) = 65W TDP
Ryzen 5 1600 (6 cores) = 65W TDP
Ryzen 5 1600X (6 cores) = 95W TDP
Ryzen 7 1700 (8 cores) = 65W TDP

Even if you want to pick articles - you should note also that at this point they're all running at similar voltage and similar speeds.

This is why I replied to your post with "Nope. You have to see other factors."

You can't generalize more cores is faster.

Ryzen 7 1700 is 8 cores but 3.0Ghz while Ryzen 5 1600X is 3.6Ghz.

See the difference? You can't just say more cores mean more power draw, it doesn't work that way unless they're running on equal settings on other areas like voltage and frequency.

Yes, when we talk - we always talk stock.

If you want to add other information, better be detailed if not it's misleading.

But I've been using Ryzen setup for more than 2 months now leh, very stable. What else people want?

No bug. No bluescreen. No bootup issues.

All running perfect. I use Adobe Premiere Pro for video works with it. I play Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm and StarCraft II on it.

Zero hiccups till date, even with 1700 overclocked.

OK la, hiccup / bluescreen only during overclock test - that one don't count.

This one's for you.

I manually set to 15-17-17-35 with 1.35vdimm as per the specs.

AMD gave it to us early testers.

X370 - just set the memory speed, and change timings. Nothing fancy.
