Zaku3 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Still unsure if this is a worthwhile upgrade from a 4.6Ghz I7 6700k. Will have to wait on benchmarks. I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, best to avoid the upgrade bug by asking yourself, "Do my games currently run poorly?" If the answer is yes, then that's the only sensible time you need to upgrade.

AMD Radeon RX 6800XT, a tale of 3DMark There are now three sources providing benchmark results of Radeon RX 6800 XT based on the UL 3DMark GPU testing software stack. AMD Radeon RX 6800XT is the Navi 21-based graphics card […] All should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Synthetics don't always tell the story of what real world gaming performance will be either. These leaks are generating some excitement though. The Ray Tracing performance is as expected, just above the 2080Ti. The rasterization performance is well above my expectations if these hold up to real world scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not too surprised they pulled ahead on traditional rasterization. But it's most encouraging that they caught up to the 2080 TI in RT. They'll still really need that DLSS alternative though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but let's just be excited that they actually seem to be coming to the table with a viable alternative this generation. It's been awful in the recent past.

The 5900x and 5950s are better options tbh. However yes get the 5800x if that is what you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly there's no need to overclock the CPU clockspeed. The Turbo boost pretty much maxes out what the chip is capable of - and the the colder you get the chip the higher clocks it will automatically sustain. 280mm or 360mm water coolers are the best for keeping these chips cold. You'll get more of a performance benefit from RAM and FCLCK frequency. 3600 CL16 is the sweet spot, and you'll want to make sure it's in dual rank configuration as opposed to single rank configuration. What does rank mean? If you're getting 8GB sticks, you'll want to get 4 of them to populate all memory slots (two sticks per memory channel) as most 8GB sticks are single rank, but putting 2 single rank sticks on the same memory channel will make it dual rank.. If you're getting 16GB sticks, most them are dual rank on a single stick so you'll only need 2, one per memory channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the advice on the RAM. Let me see what I can hunt down microcenter. I bought DDR4 4000 but rather bet at thebsweet spot. Some of the results showed slower perf with the 4000.

You'll get slower performance with 4000 if you decouple the FCLCK (Infinity Fabric clock speed). The FCLCK runs at the same frequency of the real memory clock. So DDR4-3600 means you need to run the FCLCK at 1800 MHz, because 3600 is the double-pumped effective speed while the memory is technically running at a real clock of 1800 MHz.. DD4-3800 would need the FCLCK at 1900 MHz, and DDR4-4000 needs the FCLCK at 2000 MHz. But if you run the memory at 4000 MHz, and then set the FCLCK to, for example, 1800 MHz, then it will actually force the FCLCK to run at 900 MHz (half speed). Problem with overclocking the FCLCK of this nature (stock frequency being 1600 MHz) is currently 2000 MHz is very hard for Ryzen processors to reach. Ryzen 2 processors tap out at about 1900 MHz. But you could get lucky and get a good chip that can hit 2000+ on the FCLCK, so if your DDR4 4000 is a good kit I'd keep it. You could always run it at 3800 MHz and try to lower the timings. edited to clarify double pumped CLK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's only a 2x8GB. I think the 2x16GB would be better. It's also the same price. So I wouldn't have to pay more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
