    CPU change - Doubts

    I bought a msi Armor 1070 on launch day, just didn't bother updating specs yet because of the cpu change to come. I have been trying quicksync and it makes all the difference, like I wasn't even recording, so for now guess I will hold and see what zen looks like and then probably bother you guys...

    CPU change - Doubts

    It would not need a gpu?

    CPU change - Doubts

    Huum... That sounds a lot more expensive tough. About the bad quality is it worse than twitch source quality and its awful bitrate?

    CPU change - Doubts

    Why should I not encode using it? Is it unreliable?

    CPU change - Doubts

    Yeah I do notice like half a second freezes sometimes that I attribute to lack of available ram, tough I struggle with the decision to just buy outdated ram, when I will move on to a new computer if not now 6 months or so. The transcoding times are somewhat annoying but I usually leave them...

    CPU change - Doubts

    So after searching a bit I was thinking of going with: Cpu:6800k Ram: gskill 3200 Cpu cooler: h110i Motherboard: can I just get the cheapest one I can find? Will only use 1 gpu

    CPU change - Doubts

    I only have 8gb at the moment and I hit about 6gb most of the time while playing. About 7,5 gb when also streaming, tough my fps do tank a lot. I was comparing to 2400mhz memory, 3200 memory goes for the same price, but the latency is indeed lower, so maybe the better choice?

    CPU change - Doubts

    The ram I was thinking about is: G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3600MHz 17-18-18-38-2N. Would that be enough and good ram? It goes for 150€ where I usually buy, and 2400 ram goes for 130€. Also made a few simulations from my usual shop and I got this: 6700k mobo and ram 700€. 5820k combo...

    CPU change - Doubts

    I see, I have looked at both those cpus. It is my understanding that 6800 is faster multicore but 6700k is faster ST, is that right? What I really know nothing about is the xeon cpus and if any of them might be worth considering . I think I would be more inclined to go for 6800 between those...

    CPU change - Doubts

    Hello, I have recently decided to change my i5 3570k, with a lousy cooler for something a bit more recent, and would like your help to clear some points. Due to content creation, gaming and streaming I would appreciate something with at least HT, maybe 6 cores (?) and a lot of ram. 1- Any...

    Sistem upgrade - What to keep/change

    oh no watercool for sure. As long as I get my mobas and OW at 40k 60fps I'm golden :)

    Sistem upgrade - What to keep/change

    that graph is awesome, thanks :) given that I think I'll go with 1070 plus 4k monitor for now and later might add SLI if needed. Any recommendations on which 1070 and monitor to buy?

    Sistem upgrade - What to keep/change

    I have read ton of reviews, but most reviewers test with very high details and the same 10 demanding games. For those 1070 seems short for 4k. However I mostly play Heroes of the storm, Overwatch and indie games. Haven't been able to find any 4k test for these.

    Sistem upgrade - What to keep/change

    So, you think 1440p is better suited for gtx 1070 than a 4k? Was hoping to make the jump to 4k. I have no complaints on the CPU so far, but given the massive upgrade to the GPU, was worried it would bottleneck it.
