AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper is Capable of Running Crysis without a GPU

I don't know what library Linus used, but it was not utilizing the CPU properly. If the software library could really use those 120 threads it should work butter smooth.

This seems logical. Given his filming schedule he may not have had the time to research everything.
 
I guess the lesson here is you don't need a $4000 CPU to not play Crysis very well.

Earrings are optional.

The fault is in the software, not in the chip. If one can code properly for this beast, the game will run on it.

Everyone can run Crysis without a GPU.

Almost every CPU from this decade is capable of running games in software renderer mode.


Above is a video of my very own 10-year-old Xeon running Crysis similarly like Linus.

Despite the nonsense, you'll need a GPU to run games on the highest quality, resolution, at decent FPS.

Yeah, that's savage :D

I've kinda got a kick out of LTT, but ... the guy talks about complicated CPU/Process/Thread/Usage stuff while looking at effing Task Manager, that's just ridicolous.

Everyone in IT knows Task Manager is totally not the tool for any serious performance analysis reading, he terminology across windows versions never completely matched other developer oriented tools from microsoft, the way data is averaged, refreshed would probably have quite a big impact on those CPU Usage graphs, not to mention a per-CPU type of a overview isn't meant to read into more than it's intended for, and because you can't see per-thread activity it's easy to be fooled into the "load balancing" nonsense, where the same thread jumps around many cores creating an illusion that there's more threads "efficiently using the CPU".

Besides the "gay" earrings of course.

Ear rings are 'gay'?? I see most straight man wear ear rings.
Negative of Linus's videos are, they made 5 minute videos into 10 video.
 
Oh I was SO not expecting someone to come up with this sort of idiotic remark.
Note the quotation marks.
