DX11/DX12 CPU overhead and how it relates to Ryzen performance

[Kanan]

It's not that we ignored it but , that video wasn't really worth much attention to begin with since it has no real conclusion.

Its only of any consequence if you watched the video of Adored. Im only talking about the people here making a big fuzz about Ryzen and Nvidia not functioning properly together.

I see , still , didn't pay much attention to that as well tbh since it was hardly believable.

I think that people give too much credit to "established reviewers". Thinking they cannot make mistakes is wrong on many levels. The same goes for having a prejudice against Youtube reviewers. If their testing methodology is transparent and their results make sense, why wouldn't you believe them? I don't believe every test I see on Youtube, but I still think a lot of them are very well done.

Now that this is out of the way: I obviously couldn't reproduce any of AdoredTVs results myself as I don't have the required hardware components, but loosing some performance (like 5 or 10%) because of a threading latency problem on Ryzen.nVidia combo seemed plausible. Even more so, because I watched the NerdTechGasms video first and saw how different is the scheduling approach of both GPU makers ...

Most of them (youtubers) tell you to test and reproduce their findings yourself, so they don't have to hide anything. IMO classic reviews are worth a lot and Youtube reviews as well, both are important and sides of the same coin. For example Adored often uses data from websites such as TPU, Anand, CB, PCGH and many others to come to conclusions, he is mostly someone who interpretes stuff. At times he reviews as well. I only trust a handful of reviewers in Youtube, and I'm following them since months too. Of course there are bad ones, but there are bad websites (classic reviews) as well. Originally I was only reading stuffs on game magazine called "GameStar" and "ct" it was more than enough for me, nowadays I read multiple websites reviews and watch multiple youtube videos as well, so I'm a lot, but not naive. Anyone who goes around stating simple shit like "youtuber reviews suck" or "youtubers suck" is a blind fool imo. Their work isn't much different too, it's just presented in different ways, so I don't get the negative sentiments against them - I guess some people just disregard things they don't know and therefore don't like.
