That good?

for like a quarter of the price

this is why /g/ is chimping out

and laughing at intel

Ryzen 7 1700 is base price NZD$499

What about intel shills claiming that single thread perf is still bad?

any weight to to that at all?

this is 2017

single thread performance is worse

but everything's moving to multicore

What's Kaby Lake in NZD?

you're still getting an amazing CPU

Yeah

http://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_7_1700-707-vs-intel_core_i5_6600k-521

better multi-threading, but another NZD$150?

i don't know

real ryzen hours

https://pricespy.co.nz/list.php?l=236546 looks fine

Have some leeway from 480s in crossfire

Or is that truly needed for 1080p?

If intel reduces prices on 7700 ryzen will be btfo for gaymurs

for adults doing work ryzen is king

but do I need 2 x 480 for 1080p going forwards?

how long will 2 x 480 last for solid 1080p gaming vs 1 x 480?

having a 4gb 480 at 1.3Ghz it's doing ok

yeah, but how long is that

having two will definitely extend the effective lifespan of your gaming setup

ok going to be for

what do you mean by how long

upgrade wise

go as long as possible without the need of an upgrade

well it really depends on what you're doing and what you expect from your activities

if you want full 200fps at 1080p at max graphics for all future titles within the next 5 years then invest in three titans

We're aiming for 60fps @ 1080p

maybe dual monitor 2560x1080

tfw 480-4 is more expensive than 1060-3 here

if you're a casual gamer that doesn't really mind a small decrease in cosmetics, then 1 will probably last 5 years

by alot

I've had a 6850 for the past 7 years and it served me well

tfw 480-4 is more or less the same price than 1060-3 here

well if you're going for two monitors and want as much graphical performance for future titles, one 480 might last you 4 years at most, 3 if we're going with more triple A title releases
