Michael What CPU govenor was being used in testing? The default OnDemand gives me terrible performance. In CoH2 I lose about 10fpsAVG when using ondemand vs performance. Are the games running at max in game settings?

Under Windows the propritary Nvidia grafic driver slows (somehow) down the System. Dont think its better with the propritary NVIDIA Linux driver. Maybe the check the nouveau driver with Ryzen and 1080 but you can throw nouveau in the trash for normal desktop use with new cards.
See
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comment..._on_ryzen_for/
and

So AMD cards are the best for real performance testing, because they dont "fake" the result like the current Nvidia with its driverproblems.
Its time for Nvidia to fix their driver.Last edited by Pranos; 18 May 2017, 12:28 PM.

So many promises but the fact remains that games nowadays require single thread performance just as much as 20 years ago. I bought a 1090T with the expectation that all games would fully utilize 6 or more cores in the future and I was wrong. Now I am looking at getting a 4 core CPU to replace it, for gaming and the 7700k looks pretty nice.Last edited by Sidicas; 18 May 2017, 01:20 PM.

And yeah, in gaming they are getting wrecked so hard it's not even funny. Still unsure when I what I should replace my old 1090T with - an i5 isn't an option because they are hardly any faster at compiling than my current chip (the 7400 is actually slower), an i7 is not an option because it's simply too expensive, and Ryzen 5 is not an option either because... well, they are terrible at anything other than compiling.Last edited by VikingGe; 18 May 2017, 02:19 PM.

Sure AMD is marketing Ryzen to gamers, but the value proposition is still there even if it's lags intel slightly in single-thread performance. Does it really matter that Ryzen delivers 182 frames per second while intel does 190? The frame rates here are all so high, it really makes no difference, so unless you're doing VR @ 4k or something like that, the smart money goes for the best value.

Ryzen takes quite a beating in games. In fact that makes it a bit bad if you want to run demanding emulators for instance. e.g. fed up with generally being unable to run old games? You can emulate a whole 486 or Pentium class PC and run Win 9x in that. Albeit, the emulator doesn't build on my linux PC and the Windows version immediately fails in Wine so I didn't investigate it much yet.
Where Ryzen might have value is if you have an amount of CPU-eating garbage in the background. Browsers, Xorg, a Windows 7 VM, and even the Gnome/Mate "system monitor". And running a composite window manager will make that worse. So many trillions instructions wasted doing nothing much. But a Ryzen 1700 and up would be a luxury way to live with that crap (and add some more, like a web interface to stream your audio/video media to other devices and PC)
