Hey guys,
As the title says, what do you guys think about the 1600x for gaming at 1440p with a 1080Ti? I've looked for gaming benchmarks between the 1600x and the I7-7700K at 1440p but could literally only find one article, with only The Ashes of the Singularity, a game and genre I have no interest in.
I know the basic differences between them, the 1600x has more cores and threads, but the cores are at a lower clockspeed. The I7 is the way to go for gaming in general, and the difference tends to be noticeable at 1080p. But the other things is, the 1080Ti is practically a 'supercard' and I feel like the difference would kind of equal the two out, especially at 1440p.
Now I know the Ryzen chip is better for applications that use multiple cores and threads, and I would like to have a CPU that can handle those applications or just multiple applications at once. But that being said, I wouldn't want to sacrifice 10-20% of my frames as I will be playing at 144Hz.
If you think this will help, I will be playing Overwatch (which I believe favors the R5) most prominently, but also Skyrim, Fallout 4 and other open world games. Other applications I would use would be the majority of Adobe's softwares and OBS.
Thanks in advance.
P.S I will be overclocking the Ryzen 5 to 4.0GHz and the I7 at least to about 4.8GHz
