R7 2700X - AMD GOES BIG! Gaming, Rendering & Encoding

[@dennisplayinglacrosse]

Honestly, this is one of the most detailed and specific videos that tests the new Ryzen cpus against other cpus. I must say, the content is amazing and very in depth. Great job man 👍

1:17 the R7 2700 non-x version is 65w, not 95w

[@potatoderp5814]

yep

[@Reculse]

Yea but that is on stock speeds

[@benjy117]

TSMC not Global Foundries. Global Foundries was 1st gen Ryzen 14nm. The 2700x boost isn't 4.25 but 4.35ghz. Some wrong information over the masses goes a long way.

[@Kaustich]

Fucking hell, thats low, my R5 1600 is the same as that lmao

[@sitordan]

Not bad. Not bad at all. If AMD keep this up then my next CPU, that I intend to buy in 2019, will be an AMD R7 3700X. Until then, my delided i7 4790k will have to do the job.

[@GraveUypo]

that's what im going for ever since i first heard it's going to be in 7nm

[@XxViciousxX]

Yeah that's probably what I will get too. Until then my delided 7700k should be good enough.

[@SaturnusDK]

Note that you may be forced to switch sooner if a smeltdown bug exploit goes wild. Intel board partners are for the vast majority not providing motherboard updates for older than Skylake CPUs so you are not protected at all. Remember that the OS part is completely worthless without the motherboard part for smeltdown so basically, all Intel users with older than Skylake CPUs are sitting on a ticking time bomb (myself included with my Xeon which I will upgrade to a Threadripper 2000 series later this year).

[@Kazya1988]

Samsonite Dove even TR 1950x will reach 4.1Ghz and it's allready so amazing and allso the price is amazing... sadly no budget motherboard on TR...

[@XtremeConditions]

Agreed. Well, I'm still rocking an FX-8350 which has served me well. But I'm finally going to upgrade to the 2700x. But we should see even bigger and better improvements come the true "Zen 2". 7nm is going to be sick.

[@Bodonism]

All games benchmark average on GTX 1080 Ti i7-8700k (stock) = 10 fps more R7-2700x (stock) = 10 fps less Think about this for a second, what if you have GTX 1080, 1070 or below, the R7-2700x is completely a beast gaming CPU. There won't be bottleneck at all, so why are you saying R7-2700x is not as good as 8700k for gaming? That's a mislead. Also, while the R7-2700x has more cores/threads and annihilated the i7-8700k in productivity benchmarks.. There is no question here that the R7 is a damn good CPU!

[@shaolin95]

Because it is NOT as good so stop the fanboy nonsense. IT is cheaper and surely viable but not better.

[@cosmicrevival7105]

That's true but with my 1070 ti there is like a 2fps difference in average to the i7 8700k. Definitely not worth the difference in price.

[@global_mariii]

@@shaolin95 convince me............, i7 or a 2700x for gaming, game development, music production, and sketchup

[@Kaustich]

@@global_mariii Easily R7 2700X

[@Kaustich]

@@shaolin95 I mean, it depends, any heavily threaded workloads the Ryzen 7 2700X beats the i7 8700k. It IS better for that.

[@tobygreenwood5036]

Cant believe how quickly the year or so since Ryzen 1 has gone...

[@QuadTubeChannel]

Yeah, Toby. It seems like only yesterday when Ryzen 1 was hitting the shelves, yet such a lot has happened since in terms of how it shook the CPU market up.. with more exiting stuff to come! :)

[@asdfomfglol]

You're awesome mate. You're going to hit 100k subscribers soon and then skyrocket into the universe. Keep up the good work! Unbiased in-depth reviews, best cinematography of the whole youtube tech community and a great deep narrator voice. Perfect mix, you're gonna get far, you'll see.

[@optimumtech]

Wow, thanks so much! :)

[@adrianvasiliu42]

I am the owner of the 1800x processor, after two months of use I am amazed how good it is I never dreamed to have such a processor, because an equivalent processor from intel now a year cost about $ 2,000. I live in the poor country more precisely in Romania where my salary is $ 350, luck for us that there is AMD all my gratitude

[@mohammadilyasroslan1302]

7:27 Did you post the video about why you're against the b350 board yet?

[@EdgyNumber1]

14:10 Right. Now try streaming those games on the same Intel processor and you end up bringing it to it's knees in some cases. The Ryzen has no problems at all.

[@B3MMi]

I love that you include The Witcher 3 in the benchmarks. It's a demanding game that likes fast memory and CPUs.

[@TheAmanor123]

[@TheAmanor123]

B3MMi or u were sarcastic then im stupid

[@homewardboundphotos]

very nice video, there is only one caveat I think you should have included in your video regarding warp stabilizer. to say the 8700k out performs ryzen in this task is a bit misleading. it is true that with one instance of warp stabilizer, the 8700k will outperform ryzen, however warp stabilizer is a effect that processes in the background allowing you to continue working while processing, or activating multiple instances of warp stabilizer. the 8700 k may have a marginally faster analysation time, but ryzen will be able to analyse twice as many clips at the same time making ryzen effectively faster in practical application.

[@drewmorg.]

Great point.

[@drewmorg.]

C14 4000 is expensive and also not guaranteed to work with every 1st Gen Ryzen CPU. Even so, I don't believe some of the gaming FPS numbers that show the Ryzen beating the 7700k with equal memory. Just keeping it real

[@tuomasvallo795]

I had set my mind on Ryzen 7 2700x build. After watching a ton of reviews I'm starting to lean towards the I7-8700k, since the PC will be mainly for gaming purpose. I'd really love to give the new Ryzen a try though.

[@selohcin]

Wow, fantastic video! I just found your channel on accident, but I was so impressed with the review I subscribed! One question though: did you actually run all those tests yourself, or are you compiling data from other sources to make these charts? (Not judging if you did, I was just genuinely confused about how one man could have so many CPUs lying around.) I have never, ever seen anyone pair a 2200G with a 1080 Ti for CPU performance testing. Great stuff!

[@optimumtech]

Thanks for subscribing! All of the testing was done by me :) compiling from other sources would be a lazy mess.

[@DS-pk4eh]

Very well video edit. What do you use as video edit software?

[@lacucaracha111111]

16:42 *if you are willing to pay about 150-200$ more (with a tower cooler or AIO that can handle 5GHz)

[@AwesomeBlackDude]

Did you built an expensive tech lab attached it to your main house? 🤔

[@KoIzumi24]

Get a X470 itx board (give the Asus one a try) and test it on the NCase M1 for the D9L and other options. Your results will determine my upgrade :) Great video!

[@atlrichard7]

I already pre-ordered the asrock x470 itx(asrock bc asus gave in to nvidia demands) I plan to put the evga clc 120 on it and put it into the upcoming ncase c4 case.

[@KoIzumi24]

that's a dan case c4 tho. But thanks! Not really planning to go AIO inside the NCase M1 but I'm strongly considering the C4-SFX too for the future.

[@atlrichard7]

derp derp it is dan case.

[@meladath5181]

I WISH people would start testing in 4K. Yes I UNDERSTAND 1080P shows the CPU performance more. Obviously! But I have a 4K monitor, and I am considering if I should "side-upgrade" or not from my 4790k! (Please also start testing more all the way back to sandy bridge, as IPC hasnt gone up much since then, there has been little reason to upgrade, but still makes it easier!) This video wasn't as useful as I had liked, but you make good content, keep it up!

[@Tomichouuuuu]

Did you force the use of all cores on PUBG ?

[@larrygall5831]

Small gap between parts on gaming benches. Also, I didn't see a reference to memory speeds. Is this another of these benchmarks that have the Intel parts running 3600 and the Ryzen running 3000? I seen some of those "tests" and even then the 2700x was either right with or ahead of the 8700k.. although the CAS wasn't listed at all. I have no idea why some actually post video reviews with comparisons between asymmetric setups. Especially when the same memory kit can be used in both systems.

[@optimumtech]

Curious, why would you assume that I'm testing different memory speeds across the tested CPU's? The memory used is 3200MHz C16 across *all* CPUs, unless stated otherwise (for the G4560, 2200G, i3 8100 etc.)

[@marcostrydom9893]

Dude your camera work is absolute brilliant

[@glamdring0007]

Was your Intel test bench patch for Spectre and Meltdown ? The x470 comes already patched via BIOS...other test sites are showing post patch Intel systems at lower performance relative to 2700x. There are also variables still in play with memory...some memory brands, due to sub timings, perform substantially better on x470 than others...Geil in particular was well below competing memory brands when tested on x470 and it appears even within brands there are performance differences...

[@zoraizkhan5192]

Oh yeah!! Early man! I'll still be rocking my 1700 till 2021! Still it's a killer CPU

[@denyxrunner]

Zoraiz Khan yeah but only for productivity and gaming at 60hz... once you try 144hz you can't really return to lower hz and at 144hz intel is the king

[@SomeUserNameBlahBlah]

I don't have a 144 Hz monitor but it seems there's only a few games Intel can hit 144+ fps and in 1080. Once anyone goes beyond 1080 than it's anyone's game (pun intended). This has been the dilemma I'm facing when getting a new system.

[@Z00TS]

im running on r7 1700x @ 4ghz on a 144hz monitor and it works just fine. I dont know what you're talking about.

[@TheGuyWhoDidUrM0M]

what the actual fuck are you talking about zoraiz khan. . . even on a 3.7ghz 1600 i game perfectly fine on my 120hz monitor. Rarely any dips below 100 fps.

[@dennis-br6vr]

Zoraiz Khan my 2700x at stock speeds does an amazing job at 1440p 144hz gaming with my 1080ti ftw3. so like the other said, i dont know what you are talking about.

[@afstar101]

What does the usb port do on the fan?

[@Philip1995]

I read it's for controlling/syncing the RGB lights. This feature shall only be available for 'preinstalled' fans. The others shall be controlled by the mainboard somehow instead. But if you have one of these USB-programmable ones there is a program by Cooler Master in which you can set your preferred settings. Thanks to this USB-RGB standard you may sync even through some different manufacturers (if compatible) and therefore save yourself from getting *insane*. I think you can sometimes even change the light depending on it's measured temperature on some devices who do support USB-RGB.

[@Kie-7077]

I have 16gb ram, I was lucky enough to buy it when ram was cheap, it kind of surprises me that reviewers are still using the same amount of ram that I installed years ago for just a run of the mill system.

[@KPGame4]

Nice video! But why no Premiere Pro dropped-frame benchmarks (timeline performance)? These are most important for editing experience. Or did i miss em?

[@tuxnews2878]

Some youtube reviews have it and seems like 2700x have 0 fps drops.

[@bolingfitrafli7959]

What gpu you use?

[@fendrou]

I got it in a new system. I've found it 50% cheaper than launching price. 2700X works like a dream mainly for editing.

[@klontjespap]

Hmm that's actually some decent improvements on 1% lows, that cache rework seems to have paid off. Minimums are the new average I'm all about tight frametimes. But i also do quite some power user stuff so ryzen was already a no brainer for me last year :)

[@EatonZ26]

Does the stock cooler fit inside the NCASE M1?

[@robertstan298]

A somewhat competent review, but I can't help but notice some of your scores are a bit off (usually basing my observation on CB), your Coffee Lakes get a above what they should and your 2700X gets a tad bellow what I've seen in other tests (including the early leaks...). No clue how your OC 2700X gets higher ST score than stock, which should hit around 180 +/- 2 points, not 175...

[@asdfomfglol]

Early leaks are based on binned CPUs with the best performance possible aimed at achieving great performance reviews in order to maximize sales. Wait for more gaming benchmarks. We know that this man isn't biased cause he's not sponsored like bigger youtubers are, that's why his reviews are better. I wouldn´t trust any other youtuber over him to be honest.

[@robertstan298]

asdfomfglol What you said has no basis in reality. Leaks are more often than not based on engineering samples or black market pre-sales, they have nothing to do with binning, if anything, they are underperforming chips more often than not. And at any rate, that's not what I was talking about.

[@BAdventures]

Very helpful review. Detailed info and tight editing. I'm waiting on the 3rd Gen Ryzen 3000 series now 👍

[@okinawaokinawaokinawaokinawa]

Could you specify the number of threads used by each games in your benchs ? Of course if you put a 8 core mulithreading beast in front of a 4 core clock speed beast, the second will always be seen as better "for gaming" in (old) titles limited to 4 thread like GTA V, while the results for games with more threads like Watch Dogs 2 will be much more different. Mostly when knowing that recent titles are using more and more threads than old gen AAA games, you could argue that the said CPU is more future proof for gaming than the other.

[@fatalradius]

Excellent review. I’d like to see how it functions after a few bios updates

[@Srcsqwrn]

It's looking like, even while I'm mainly gaming a lot, I want to get the Ryzen. I have been recommended this in order to stream, and edit videos better.

[@frazze8097]

do you need to conect a extra cable to get the rgb cooler on the 7 2700x?

[@FloorManiac]

Hi, Thanks for the vid. I have a B350 mobo, and I dont want to upgrade to an x470 or any other board, but I do plan to upgrade my CPU to the 2700X. While I am currently overclocking my Ryzen 3 chip, I dont plan on overclocking the 2700X, as I dont deem it necessary. In this video you mentioned that you expect performance issues with a 2700X paired with a B350. Could you please elaborate. I believe there may be more than a few people wanting to know what you meant by that.

[@nelsonvega2919]

Thanks for the review, very informative. I have preferred to use AMD solutions over Intel as I see Intel using its market share to push out the competition. Presently I have an AMD FX-8350 and recently ordered the Ryzen 7 - 1700, I find that the 1700 has what I need for a mix of work related issues and Gaming play. Also the price deference in the US is a little deferent then what I have seen in the EU. For instance the Ryzen 7 - 1700 is going for $229.99 While the 7 - 2700x is going for $370.00. The deference between the two is not worth the price increase for me. So while I would like the Ryzen 7 - 2700X I’ll settle for the lowly but functional Ryzen 7 - 1700, it’s still a better and faster system then what I presently have and I do trust the longevity of the AMD products. Thanks again for a very good and balanced review. NV

[@CaptainBiplane]

I have the asus b350 f aswell, do your temps on it seem off too? I get 75 degrees and regular interval spikes above 85 degrees, that being only on 1.25 volts (150W tdp air cooler)

[@EvadLevarg]

I have a asus b350f gamers with the default air cooler in coming with the 2700x. I have clock manually the cpu to 4.0ghz. The current temp at home is 28c and on idle the cpu temp is 35 37c. The cooler is set to turbo mode from asus app panel. When the cpu is use at 99% it go to 75c pretty quick. On gaming the temp seen ok with the default cooler, here I get around 40 to 50c. My computer side panel is open, It's dangerous for me to have the side panel close. If I use the cpu at 99% for editing video or making 3d rendering, Opening the side panel seen to give a + for me. My next buy is a good water cooling, If you don't do big task the default cooler is ok. But I recommend to use a better cooler for this cpu. If exemple you let's your computer running and if because a update or anythings like a virus start to use the cpu at 99%, And if your not present to see it happen. You risk to comeback and see your computer off with a burned cpu. More you use cores and threads more you have chance to have big temp variation. My last computer before is a FX8350, Clock to 4.8ghz and with the water cooling on idle it run at 25 27c and on heavy task it go to 35 38c. I wish to can ranch similar result with my new ryzen soon.

[@catonpillow]

Very well made review. Keep it up!

[@AurioDK]

The 8700 k is still the king in gaming and very few people actually put the Ryzen´s potential on workload to good use. Buying a new CPU because it does well in productive environments to sit and game all day is rather silly. If you are at 1440p like me then it all matters squat when it comes to gaming, a new more powerful GPU is all that matters if you bought a top line CPU within the last 4 years, AMD or Intel. My 6700k 4,9 ghz will last me another 4-5 years if it doesn´t crumble, clock speeds are dead in the water. Very few reviewers fail to remind their viewers of the high resolution trap, most gamers I know of don´t need a new CPU. It´s baffling to think that the pentium 4 reached 5 ghz 11 years ago and we still linger there.

[@asdfomfglol]

Pentium 4 reached 5 GHz 11 years ago. So what? The IPC improvements have come pretty far since then, otherwise you´re free to see benchmark comparisons all over the place, mate. And yes, of course the GPU´s the most important part for gaming.

[@MadMexism]

You look like one of the players in PUBG. Great video by the way. I love my 2700x, and i just took the overclock of 4.2ghz off. i dont think it needs it.

[@avidian888]

Great video mate! Also very glad that AMD is back in business. My next gaming PC will probably be a Ryzen.

[@davideverett2]

@ 6:46 you mentioned that the 2700x was unable to hit the claimed clock speeds, It seems that has become the norm with AMD, I went through 3 Vega 64's & none of those could reach the claimed boost speed, that included a Liquid cooled V64 & a non-reference Nitro+ LE V64.

[@WatchingFromHeaven]

since XFR2.0 is the thing now, I would type in specification of CPU "up to 4.35Ghz" without base freq.

[@cybercat1531]

The 105W TDP for the 2700X is weird. It both runs cooler and uses less power than the 1700X. See gamers nexus video for an explanation of how AMD calculates its TDP.

[@MowBTC]

Why not comparing to AMD Ryzen 5 2400G?

[@Yoshimatsu414]

I'm kind of confused on what to do. I want to take advantage of the new platform memory compatibility and StoreMI and hopefully OC my 1700 much more on a X470. Or I could just keep my Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3, buy Fuzedrive and a 2700x and hope that board can handle the boost clocks?....IDK! Lol.

A 240mm AiO isn't any better than the biggest Notcua fan tho, why risk buying something expensive with more parts that can and WILL fail when you can achieve the same result with air cooling? After 4 years with liquid cooling and various failure points (leaking swivel fittings, leaking radiator from EK and a failing pump) and a whole lot of wasted money when the radiator had a leak; 1000w psu, mobo, r9 290x, pci-e ssd and fx8350.. it's safe to say that watercooling is a waste of money. So unless you have money to waste on new parts when something goes wrong, just go air.

Great video and detailed content.. Try to not sound so robotic though, then you could easily be on TV!

AMD may have taken over a larger part of the CPU market. However intel is not complaining because it is selling very well too. What is restricting them sales numbers is GPU and memory prices. If your main focus is productivity, well you don't need much more than the cheapest 4Gb video and 8gb RAM for your multi monitor set and spreadsheets. If you are paying someone to run a desktop, pay for AC to keep the box cool, rrunning and comfortable, more productivity cheaper works. AS for a 2700 or a 8700, well until memory and GPU gets a LOT more reasonable Optimus Tech can keep talking and I will keep listening. I will continue gaming with the 5 year old system I have.

Id like to see AMD at 4 Ghz against intel at 4Ghz

There is a thing called the aperture dial on your camera.....razor thin focus is pointless.

[@jamesharnish650]

how about compared to 1800x in gaming

[@Koeras16]

Slightly above.

I would think that this should less than half it's current price 6 months after the Ryzen 3600X is released.

[@richterman3962]

But but but is it better than the i7 8700k in gaming?

[@UltraCookie3000]

I love the Gigabyte board. The orange accents are a deal breaker for me though... I hope they're stickers... :P

You should have done the gaming fps test in 720p because otherwise you wont see the actual performance on the cpu (bottleneck). The gpu does most of the job in gaming.

[@asdfomfglol]

It doesn´t matter if GPU does most of the job if both tests are done with the same GPU. It means that Intel performs better at 1080p at maximum graphics than AMD, period. Testing games at low resolutions with low graphics is actually stupid since it´s a non realistic situation.

[@alexruiz1197]

asdfomfglol well, I'm saying testing games with ultra graphics and low resolution. The the bottleneck will be the cpu and then you will see better the performance of each CPU
