AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti

B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler **is fine though I'd go for Noctua or Arctic cooling instead**.

I will eventually get a third card also. The only reason this isn't a 5 star card is the fact that it isnt offered with a pre installed water block, there are no full cover water blocks, and that the card is a case heat discharge type instead of case intake. Dumps a lot of heat in the case, make sure you have a ton of airflow and proper design.

So keep that in mind. I wouldn't normally play this game with all the settings turned out like this call of duty. Modern warfare is a game that i've h...

The 5800X's price and performance position right now is slightly different from where it was at launch, and that difference is enough that if you are ...

Somewhat surprisingly, too, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti slightly bested the GeForce GTX Titan X on a few of our tests. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti's edge is likely due primarily to driver updates since we tested the GeForce GTX Titan X a few months ago. Still, given the price difference, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the clear choice between the two for those primarily interested in PC gaming.

Maybe this will be improved with further BIOS updates but for now this seems to be the safest option. *EDIT #2* At time of writing now I have been using this CPU for about 9 months and I have spent a pretty silly amount of time tinkering with settings, optimizing and looking for possible improvements in my cooling/performance solutions. I am no longer running Eco Mode via Ryzen Master. My BEST CASE results are as follows, YMMV: In my MXI X570 BIOS I'm utilizing the following settings found in Advanced AMD Overclocking: Power limits are Manually set: PPT - 142w TDC - 95A EDC - 120 Boost Override - 50mhz Curve Optimizer: Best two Cores NEGATIVE 10 (for me this happens to be core 1 and 7, check in Ryzen Master) All other cores NEGATIVE 25 This gives me my best undervolted temps via the new PBO2 update, 30 minutes of Cinebench R23 Multi peaking @ 78C

All port come with dust blockers. It fit perfectly fine in my (albeit overly-large) Corsair 750D Airflow Edition case on my ASUS Z97-A motherboard. Due to a lack of actual performance information present in most people's reviews, I decided to have a section for in-game benchmark information, as touch on comparisons between it and the 960. Firstly, I'll list the parts in the rig I did these benchmarks in: Intel i5-4690K overclocked to 4

The IPC increase on Ryzen 5000 over 3000 series is huge. Over 30% faster. I’ve included pictures of my setup, CPUz info, benchmark results, MSI Afterburner temperature info after playing Witcher 3 at 1440P on Ultra settings for hours, and many other others. The chip boosts high, runs cool, requires basically no knowledge to get max performance from it outside of TWO toggles in the bios, and at its current price is an amazing value imo

Meanwhile, it was 23 % faster than the GTX 980 and 41 percent faster than the r9 290x. We tested The Witcher 3 using ultra quality settings, which mea...

So we're cutting a lot of the explanation down to simplify things and focus on the cpu itself, and if you need additional information, you can check o...

So, the new card seems to run slightly hotter than the last one at idle, but lower at gaming with ultra settings. I think this is something I can live with, especially since the new placement of the computer puts the fans within reach and I still feel cool-to-warmish (but not hot) air being expelled. Oh yeah, and still not overclocking the card at this point although I feel like I could do so without issues or live without it and be just fine. So, changing my title and my opinion to match the latest
